Diagnosis and alteration studies

  • To identify the micro-organism that caused a microbiological alteration or contamination and the operating conditions that may have led to this alteration. Additionally, to suggest actions for improvement
  • We thoroughly review on-site manufacturing conditions (raw materials, composition, etc.) that may have an influence on product contamination or alteration (processing steps, cleaning patterns, product flows…)
  • Depending on the type of alteration or contamination by pathogens and the information collected, we design and conduct a microbiological characterisation of the altered and unaltered samples to identify the micro-organism causing the alteration
  • We analyze the information. We draw conclusions identifying the possible origins of the contamination. We make improvement proposals to avoid or minimise contamination in the plant
