MICROCHECK

Microbial Identification & Analysis

We specialize in microbiology testing to support production quality control programs. Our 22 years of experience in microbiology QC provide expertise and confidence in the accuracy of your test data.

Microcheck was the first microbiology lab to offer microbial identifications commercially in 1988. Since our beginning we have identified over 500,000 samples with over 50,000 being fungal identification tests by our staff mycologist.

Bacterial isolates are identified using our powerful validated DNA Sequencing Service.

Fungal isolates are identified by our staff mycologist and by our DNA sequencing services.

Our staff mycologist, Dr. M.G. Sinclair, uses a library of fungal keys and more than 40 years of experience to speciate filamentous fungi, including Penicillium species. To date, no fungal identification system exists that can identify fungal isolates with acceptable accuracy. An experienced mycologist is the most reliable (and rare) 'fungal identification system' available. FIlamentous Fungi Identified at Microcheck
