By using MBS-HACCP & WATER Easy Test, laboratories can carry out microbiological controls of solids, liquids, food, water (drinking, surface, waste, process etc.) and surfaces or tools — with significant net savings of skills, costs and time.
The MBS Easy Test lets laboratories complete microbiological tests in less than half the time required by traditional methods and by cheaper means. It is a disposable, ready-to-use vial — simply add your sample (liquid or solid), incubate in a small thermostat, and read the result by visual inspection of the colour change.
No media preparation, no autoclave, no dilution series — just fast, reliable, ISO-validated results that stand up to audit scrutiny.
Results in hours, not 24–72 hours of conventional culture.
No media prep, no glassware, no autoclave overhead.
Any trained technician can run the test — no specialist.
Accepted for HACCP, food safety audits and compliance.
Run high volumes without proportionally increasing staff.
Four simple steps replace a multi-day conventional microbiological workflow.
Take your liquid or solid sample — food, water, surface swab, or environmental material — and load it directly into the MBS Easy Test vial. No homogenisation or dilution required.
Seal the vial and place it into a small, portable thermostat at the specified temperature. Incubation time varies by target organism but is a fraction of traditional culture times.
After incubation, visually inspect the vial. A colour change indicates presence or a quantitative count of the target microbial population — no instruments or readers needed.
Log the result, compare against your acceptance criteria or HACCP limits, and retain the sealed vial as a physical evidence record — invaluable for audits and inspections.
Switching from conventional culture methods to MBS Easy Test delivers measurable improvements in time, cost, and staff resource allocation — without compromising result quality or regulatory acceptance.
Results in hours vs 24–72 hrs for culture methods. Process far more samples per shift.
No agar plates, no media prep, no glassware sterilisation. Reagent overhead drops significantly.
Less manual preparation means your skilled staff focus on higher-value analytical work.
Self-disposable vials remove autoclave waste streams and reduce biohazard disposal volume.
MBS Easy Test handles the full range of matrices a microbiological laboratory tests — in a single, consistent vial format.
Drinking water, process water, wastewater, beverages, dairy liquids, broths and liquid food products — all compatible without dilution or pretreatment.
Meat, dairy, grains, spices, dried herbs, pet food and agricultural feed — solid samples are tested using the MBS suspension method with minimum preparation.
Equipment surfaces, conveyor belts, processing tables and cold store floors — surface swabs are directly inoculated into the vial for rapid hygiene verification.
Surface water, swimming pool water, spa water, cooling tower water, irrigation water and treated effluent — tested on-site or in the lab without specialist setup.
OTC drugs, herbal extracts, Ayurvedic formulations, nutraceuticals and cosmetic products — microbial limit testing in line with Pharmacopoeia requirements.
Cleanroom settle plates, HVAC air sampling, environmental monitoring programs in food factories, pharmaceutical facilities and clinical laboratories.
MBS Easy Test is trusted across a wide range of laboratory settings in India and internationally.
In-house QC labs in food factories, dairy plants, beverage manufacturers and spice processors rely on MBS kits to monitor CCPs and release products faster with lower testing overhead.
Third-party testing labs and government reference laboratories use MBS to increase sample throughput, reduce turnaround times, and offer faster results to food industry clients.
Municipal water authorities, bottled water producers and environmental monitoring organisations test drinking water, surface water and wastewater efficiently with on-site vial kits.
Pharma QC labs and clinical microbiology departments use MBS kits for environmental monitoring programs, bioburden testing and microbial limit testing of raw materials and finished products.
Universities, R&D centres and food science institutes adopt MBS for rapid pilot studies, comparative research and teaching laboratories where speed and simplicity are essential.
Irrigation water testing, fresh produce safety, soil extract analysis and animal feed testing are all supported — helping agri-food labs meet export microbial standards efficiently.
