NEW ARTICLE: Cooling Tower Water Testing & Legionella Risk

Cooling towers play a critical role in many commercial and industrial facilities, but they can also create conditions that support Legionella growth if water quality is not properly monitored.

In our latest newsletter, we discuss:

• Where Legionella risk develops in cooling tower systems
• What cooling tower water testing should include
• What elevated bacterial results may indicate
• Common monitoring mistakes facilities make
• How testing supports operational and compliance decisions

Whether you manage a commercial building, healthcare facility, industrial operation, or institutional site, understanding cooling tower water quality is an important part of risk management.

📊 Every test result tells a story.

Natural Health Product manufacturers collect thousands of laboratory results every year.

Most are used to answer one question:

✅ Did the batch pass?

But what if those same results could help answer much bigger questions?

🔍 Are product trends changing over time?
📈 Is quality becoming more consistent—or less?
🧪 Are there early signs of process variation?
📅 Do seasonal patterns affect results?

The future of quality isn't just testing products.

It's understanding the trends hidden inside your data.

We're exploring ways to help manufacturers unlock the value of their historical laboratory results and turn data into better quality decisions.

USP and USP are often performed together — but they answer different microbiological questions.

✔ USP measures total microbial counts, including:

Total aerobic bacteria
Yeast and mold

✔ USP detects specified pathogens such as:

E. coli
Salmonella
Staphylococcus aureus
Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Why run both?

Because a product can pass total microbial limits while still containing objectionable organisms.

Combined testing helps support:

Product release decisions
GMP and quality programs
Contamination risk management
Regulatory and compliance requirements

Indicator organisms help food processors understand how effective their sanitation programs really are.

While they may not always cause illness, organisms like coliforms and total plate count can signal potential contamination risks.

Routine testing helps identify issues early and supports stronger food safety programs.
