Introduction to Basic Microbiology

In soft drinks manufacture an understanding of how micro-organisms may contaminate and grow in a drink product is essential. This two-day, laboratory based workshop (non-residential) is specifically designed for those involved in microbiological examination with limited knowledge and/or formal training.

Tailor-made and delivered in a laboratory environment by Reading Scientific Services Limited, this workshop includes a mixture of lectures, demonstrations, and practical sessions which aim to provide an introduction to spoilage, pathogenic and beneficial micro organisms of significance to the industry (see IBM syllabus).

Attendance on the course will ensure that participants understand what is involved in microbiological examination of samples, the significance of laboratory results and what action may be necessary to control the growth of particular organisms.
