Probiotics often feel like the Wild West—with numerous testing methods being used and each manufacturer advocating for their own standards. When it all feels a little uncertain, you want to be sure that your testing lab is ensuring accurate testing and has the expertise to troubleshoot if unexpected issues arise during testing.

Preventing Avoidable Issues

As your partner through every part of the process, we do what we can to prevent roadblocks even before your samples arrive at our lab.

When testing living bacteria, there is a potential for large variances in recovery. To help avoid issues before they arise, we ask that you ship your samples at the proper temperature. We emphasize using cooler boxes during warm weather to ensure samples remain cold and represent the batch accurately, as heat and humidity can quickly compromise probiotics.

Troubleshooting OOS Results

If your product does encounter an Out of Specification (OOS) result, you want to be sure that you have a trusted lab on your side to investigate. The Ara Testing Labs team has years of experience in testing these complex products, so we’re always here to brainstorm and troubleshoot OOS challenges.
