Microbiological Assays
We have much experience in the use
of bioassays for the analysis of certain antibiotics
and vitamins. These are either turbidimetric or agar
diffusion techniques.
The turbidimetric assays have largely
been developed in-house for vitamin analysis and are
applicable to a wide range of matrices, containing either
supplemented or natural forms. Products tested include
foods, soft drinks, multi-vitamin tablets and pharmaceutical
preparations.
The agar diffusion technique is primarily
for certain antibiotics used within the animal health
industry, although other standard procedures, listed
within the various pharmacopoeias, can be performed.
