The MicroStar Lab

Welcome

The MicroStar Lab, LTD. is a specialty industrial microbiology laboratory that performs tests requiring unique expertise.  Many laboratories can do the tests we do, but only MicroStar does them with a consistency that you will not find any place else.

At MicroStar, with all of the standard test methods, we have identified parameters that can impact results and refined our techniques to narrow the range of our conditions.  For example, in the ASTM D3273, the moldy soil that produces that fungal inoculum is within the specifications of the test method if it is +/- 2 pH units.  However, a soil at 5.5 supports different fungal growth than a soil at 7.6, so all of MicroStar’s soil pans have a pH range of that is +/- 0.5 pH units, producing greater consistency in the fungal inoculum from test chamber to test chamber.
