Among the many microbiological problems associated with the papermaking process, we work often with:
  • Screening and characterisation of micro-organisms in process and product;
  • Microbiological testing methods for process water, pulp, paper, board, coating and fillers: DIN, SCAN, EN, ISO.
 

Critical point analyses

  • Bacteriological examination:
    - Conventional cultivation,
    - Anaerobic cultivation.
  • Other identification methods:
    - API systems,
    - FISH - Flourescent in situ hybridization,
    - Microscopic examination of slime deposits,
    - PCR.
