Environmental monitoring involves both viable and non-viable particles and evaluates personnel cleaning and sanitization activities along with monitoring existing clean rooms and HVAC systems. The main focus is on control of microbiological organisms. Potential contamination risks can be mitigated by proper monitoring and surveillance of aseptic processing environment. This can be used to derive significant insight into potential contamination risk along with overall production quality. Our products include a diverse catalog of Ready Prepared and Dehydrated Media for Environmental Monitoring, Disinfectant Testing and Sanitary Examination.

The HiMedia product range ensures a full catalog of disinfectant efficacy testing media for laboratories / factories and can ensure that they are effectively cleaned and disinfected in a time bound manner. This constitutes a basic pre-requisite for producing safe to use products.

Environmental Monitoring

Testing environments are highly complex and demanding, especially the pharmaceutical testing environment. To cope with this challenging environment, HiMedia products offer a range of options from Dehydrated Media to Ready Prepared Media for environmental monitoring in Pharma industries, hospitals, cosmetic industry, food industry and beverages. Because only the micro-organisms which can be found can be recovered, our products for Ready Prepared Media like Soyabean Casein Digest Broth and Fluid Thioglycollate Medium are widely used in sterility testing and are available as kits.
