Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing UK Ltd. provides surface and air microbiological analysis to support comprehensive water hygiene and environmental management programmes.
Monitoring microbial contamination on surfaces and in the air helps identify potential sources of contamination, verify cleaning effectiveness, and support infection control measures; particularly in healthcare, pharmaceutical, food, and water treatment environments.
Understanding surface and air monitoring
Surface and air monitoring are key elements of hygiene verification and environmental safety. Surface sampling detects bacteria and fungi on equipment, workspaces, water system components, and high-touch areas, offering insights into the effectiveness of cleaning protocols. Air sampling evaluates airborne microbial loads to assess ventilation performance, aerosol risks, and overall indoor air quality.

Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing UK Ltd.'s UKAS-accredited laboratories (No. 9658, 9508 and 1369) provide comprehensive surface and air microbiological testing using standard techniques such as swabbing, contact plates, settle plates, and active air sampling.
