BOC Sciences provides precise, reproducible microbial-limit-testing results, helping you control contamination risks and maintain consistent product quality.
Combining filtration and culture techniques, the Membrane Filtration Method captures microorganisms on a filter and grows them on selective media. This method enables precise detection of microbial presence in clear liquids, reduces interference from inhibitory substances, and provides reliable microbial counts in a single test.
Integrating sample dilution with plate culture, the Plate Count Method allows enumeration of microbial colonies directly on agar surfaces or within poured media. This approach delivers accurate colony counts and visual confirmation of microbial growth, streamlining routine quality control testing.
Using statistical dilution and liquid culture, the Most Probable Number Method estimates microbial concentration for low-level or heterogeneous samples. By combining quantitative estimation with observable growth patterns, it provides sensitive detection in challenging sample matrices without requiring direct colony counting.
Rapid Microbial Methods leverage optical, luminescent, or molecular techniques to detect microorganisms quickly. By providing both presence/absence data and quantitative estimates in a shortened timeframe, they accelerate quality assessment and reduce reliance on time-consuming traditional methods.

Microbial Limit Testing typically evaluates the total count of viable microorganisms and the presence of specific microbes in a product through sample dilution, cultivation, and enumeration. The testing workflow includes sample preparation, selection of appropriate culture media, incubation under controlled temperature conditions, and quantification via plate count or membrane filtration methods. BOC Sciences has a well-established microbial testing platform and an experienced technical team, providing reliable and accurate microbial limit testing services for a wide range of biochemical products.
The key difference between Bioburden Testing and Microbial Limit Testing lies in their objectives and applications. Bioburden Testing focuses on the total viable microorganisms in raw materials or intermediates, assessing microbial control during the manufacturing process. In contrast, Microbial Limit Testing evaluates whether finished products exceed specific microbial limits, including total colony counts and target microorganism detection. BOC Sciences can provide customized testing solutions based on product characteristics, ensuring accurate and actionable results.
Microbial limits refer to the maximum allowable number of microorganisms or specific microbial species in a product and serve as a critical indicator of product safety and quality stability. These limits are established based on the product type and intended use, ensuring microbial levels remain within a controllable range through scientific methods. BOC Sciences offers comprehensive microbial limit testing services, delivering highly reliable and comparable results for clients.
Microbial Limit Testing not only quantifies the total microbial load but also detects target microorganisms, such as E. coli or Salmonella, using selective media and specific identification methods. Through refined testing protocols, potential microbial risks can be effectively identified, supporting product quality control. BOC Sciences employs advanced microbial analysis technologies to flexibly meet the testing needs of different products.
Microbial Limit Testing ensures the microbiological safety and stability of products during storage, transportation, and use, making it a critical component of product quality assessment.
