Why Choose Qalitex for Probiotic Testing in California
Qalitex Laboratories is one of the leading ISO 17025 accredited testing labs in Southern California, with facilities in both Irvine and San Diego. Our proximity to major California shipping hubs means faster sample receipt and quicker results. We combine state-of-the-art instrumentation (HPLC, ICP-MS, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS) with experienced scientists to deliver accurate, regulatory-ready results.
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.
