Probiotic Enumeration

We perform total viable count (TVC) and species-specific enumeration for commonly used probiotic strains including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, and Saccharomyces. Results are reported in CFU/g or CFU per serving as required for label compliance.

Strain Identification

We use 16S rRNA sequencing and culture-based identification to confirm strain identity at the species level. Essential for brands making specific strain claims on labels (e.g., Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM).

Probiotic Stability Testing

Probiotic viability decreases over time. Our stability studies test products at defined intervals to establish accurate expiration dating, ensuring your potency claim is valid at end of shelf life — as required by NPA, USP, and industry standards.
