Universe Testing Laboratory is a leading Total Plate Count (TPC) Testing Lab in Erode, offering precise microbial load analysis for food products, beverages, dairy, spices, packaged items, water samples, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and environmental swabs. Total Plate Count also known as Aerobic Microbial Count or Total Bacterial Count is one of the most essential tests for evaluating hygiene, spoilage potential, and product safety.
Universe Testing Laboratory uses validated scientific methods to quantify the total number of viable aerobic bacteria present in a sample. Elevated TPC levels may indicate poor sanitation, improper handling, inadequate heat treatment, or compromised storage conditions. In addition to TPC, Universe Testing Laboratory performs comprehensive pathogen screening, testing for E. coli, Salmonella, Faecal coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria, and Enterobacteriaceae, ensuring complete microbial safety assessment. Yeast and mould analysis is also available for detecting fungal spoilage, especially important for bakery items, spices, dairy, and processed foods.
With advanced incubation systems, sterile laboratory environments, and strict microbial control protocols, Universe Testing Laboratory delivers highly accurate and reliable microbial count results. Turnaround time depends on the parameters, as certain microbial confirmations may require extended incubation. Universe Testing Laboratory supports industries in meeting FSSAI, BIS, and international standards by ensuring their products maintain safe microbial limits and consistent quality.
