Biological Testing (Water)

Biological Testing (Water)

Biological analysis of water is essential to detect and quantify bacteria, coliforms, E. coli, and other pathogens that cause waterborne illnesses. Microbial contamination is one of the most immediate and significant health risks associated with water quality.

Testing follows IS 10500, WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality, and BIS standards for drinking water quality, ensuring your water source meets all required microbiological safety criteria.

• Total Coliform Count (MPN and membrane filter method)
• Fecal Coliform / Thermotolerant Coliform
• E. coli (presence/absence and enumeration)
• Total Bacterial Count (Heterotrophic Plate Count)
• Salmonella spp.
• Vibrio cholerae
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa (packaged water)
• Enterococcus / Fecal Streptococcus
• Clostridium perfringens (spore count)

Water Types Tested

• Drinking water and tap water
• Packaged and bottled drinking water
• Swimming pool and recreational water
• Borewell and groundwater
• Hospital and healthcare facility water
• Food processing plant water

Testing Standards

Biological water testing is performed per IS 1622, IS 5401, IS 10500, APHA Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater, and WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality (4th Edition).
