  Rapid Tests Total Aerobic Microbial & Yeast Mould Count

  Posted by mikethair on February 19, 2017 at 10:29 pm

  We currently send samples to a test lab for Total Aerobic Microbial & Yeast  Mould Count. Are there any industry accepted Rapid Tests for these type of microbial tests that are widely used?

  Thanks.

  Hi @johnb, thanks for this.   Do you know if these are in regular use in cosmetic manufacturing labs?

  I had in mind that a Rapid Test  could be used for each batch of product.

  I retired from mainstream work before these things were invented but, I can say that I’ve seen them in use in numerous companies that I’ve visited since them.

  I doubt these tests are as reliable as a full scale count but for general checking purposes they look to be approaching the ideal.
