Most Probable Number Enumeration
Most Probable Number Enumeration (MPN)
Screening for microbiological contaminants is performed via a cultured enrichment, followed by enumeration using optical laser readings to measure biological load. ProVerde microbiological package 1 (MB1) screens for three categories of bacteria including total aerobic count (AC), total coliform (CC), total enterobacteriacea (EB), and a total yeast and mold (YM) test using BioMerieux TEMPO as the current process of record.
Additional Methodologies Include:
- Ultra-Performance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2)
- Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography – Mass Spec (UPLC/MS/MS)
- Head-Space Gas Chromatography (HS-GC)
- Inductively-Coupled Plasma – Mass Spec (ICP-MS)
- Most Probable Number Enumeration (MPN)
- Enzyme Linked Fluorescence Assay (ELFA)
- Immuno-Affinity Fluorometric Assay (IA)
