Microbiology

We are authorized to work with pathogens in accordance with ยง 44 of the Infection Protection Act and are fully accredited for the microbiological parameters of the Drinking Water Ordinance.

We regularly check drinking and bathing pool water as well as natural bodies of water used for swimming. In the public and commercial sectors, we carry out sampling in apartment buildings, schools, kindergartens, retirement homes, hospitals, and dental practices.

For central hot water supply systems, this includes testing for Legionella species. We would be happy to draw up property-related monitoring plans for you. If required, we can also include you as an external sampler in our QM system.

For industry, we monitor recooling plants in accordance with the 42nd BImSchV. In clean rooms and commercial operations, we analyse indoor air and contact samples.

We carry out the following tests:

  • Total microbial count
  • E. coli
  • Coliform bacteria
  • Clostridium perfringens
  • Enterococci
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Aeromonas hydrophila
  • Test for somatic coliphages
  • Legionella species
