Services
On-site sampling and laboratory analysis to identify contamination sources, quantify viable organisms, generate risk heatmaps, and provide germ-specific remediation recommendations.
Recurring third-party environmental monitoring and audits that detect post-cleaning residual microbial hotspots, produce trend data, and support targeted EVS training and continuous improvement.
Independent third-party field testing during vendor demonstrations to measure a disinfection product's performance in the facility using pre/post sampling and quantitative laboratory analysis.
Laboratory processing and analysis of environmental surface samples, including viable organism recovery, identification, quantification, and reporting.
Delivery of digital reports, heatmaps, and expert recommendations to facility stakeholders, with options for critical-result alerts and dashboards to track trends.
Consultative design and execution of sampling protocols for outbreak investigations, compliance audits, and efficacy studies to generate defensible, actionable data.
