Microbiology Contract Research

CONFORMATECH works in partnership with businesses and their research and development teams to provide specialised, flexible microbiological support adapted to their projects.

When standard methods cannot fully address a particular challenge, we can design a specific experimental approach and support the client from study definition through to interpretation of the results.

Microbiological support for your projects

Our services can support:

  • development or optimisation of antimicrobial products;
  • disinfectants and biocidal formulations;
  • solutions for cleaning and microbiological control;
  • products or processes intended for food production and industrial environments;
  • projects relating to biofilm prevention or control.

Bespoke microbiological studies

Depending on project objectives, we can design studies covering:

  • microbial growth and survival;
  • comparison of microorganisms or strains;
  • adhesion to surfaces;
  • biofilm formation and persistence;
  • microorganism–surface interactions;
  • influence of environmental parameters;
  • comparison of formulations or treatments;
  • evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy;
  • evaluation of antibiofilm activity;
  • optimisation of concentrations and contact times.

Screening antimicrobial solutions

We can establish comparative tests to evaluate several products, formulations or experimental conditions and identify the most relevant solutions for further development.

Tests can be carried out against microorganisms suited to the challenge, including bacteria, yeasts, moulds and biofilms, according to available capabilities and project objectives.

Developing experimental models

Some challenges require closer reproduction of actual conditions of use.

CONFORMATECH can develop microbiological models adapted to:

  • the microorganism studied;
  • the type of surface;
  • the medium;
  • temperature conditions;
  • exposure time;
  • the treatment evaluated;
  • biofilm formation.

This flexibility helps build studies that better represent the client's industrial situation.

Working with your R&D teams

Our role is to complement the client's internal capabilities with specialised microbiological expertise.

We can help to:

  • define the experimental protocol;
  • select microorganisms and test conditions;
  • carry out tests;
  • analyse results;
  • compare strategies;
  • guide the next stages of development.
