Microbiological analysis of drinking water by an accredited laboratory
Drinking water analysis from the Rostock laboratory
Drinking water is society’s most important foodstuff
Drinking water is society’s most important foodstuff. The quality of water is therefore of particular importance and is strictly regulated by the German regulation „Trinkwasserverordnung“
It must be free of pathogens, fit for human consumption and clean. From your own well to the water supplier, water must meet the requirements of the „Trinkwasserverordnung“ and be tested regularly. BIOSERV is an officially recognised laboratory for microbiological drinking water testing by the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Office for Health and Social Affairs. In this way, we make an important contribution to consumer protection

Standardised sampling for laboratory drinking water analysis
The „Trinkwasserverordnung“ stipulates that samples may only be taken by qualified personnel from approved testing laboratories.
We meet the requirements of the „Trinkwasserverordnung“and DIN EN ISO 19458 “Water quality – Sampling for microbiological analysis”. Drinking water testing is indicated in both commercial properties and where water is accessible to the general public. This can include residential buildings, hotels/holiday homes, medical facilities (hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes), care facilities and community accommodation.
Water quality also plays an important role in the manufacture of products such as food, pharmaceuticals or medical devices and must be closely monitored to ensure good product quality and safety.
Our competent and trained samplers guarantee correct and standard-compliant sampling in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the neighbouring federal states, as well as the fastest possible transport to our own laboratory.
Process water analysis in dentistry
As soon as water from the drinking water network is fed into a medical device, such as a dental treatment or dental unit, it becomes process water. Process water is intended to come into contact with the mucous membranes of patients, and the aerosols it produces can also be inhaled. In order to protect health, high quality requirements apply to water from dental units.
Inspection intervals must be defined internally. If there are no indications of defects, intervals of 12 months are usual and reasonable. According to KRINKO recommendations, samples should be taken by trained, experienced personnel.

BIOSERV takes care of transmitting the results
After the drinking water samples have been analysed in the laboratory, you will receive the results in an uncomplicated manner and, in the event of a positive result, we will assume the obligation to inform and forward the results to the authorities in a timely and legally compliant manner.
How drinking water analysis with our laboratory works
Order + Appointment
Contact us now to receive your personal quote for a drinking water analysis. As the price for such an analysis depends on the distance and effort involved, the cost is always calculated individually. If you are happy with our quote, we will be happy to arrange an appointment for professional sampling by our trained staff.
Laboratory analysis
Once the sample arrives at our laboratory, our drinking water specialists test it for microbiological contaminants such as Legionella, E.coli, Pseudomonas and total bacteria. Only accredited methods that meet strict legal requirements are used.
Findings + result
Depending on the type of test, you will receive the results within three to twelve days. Our experts will evaluate the results in accordance with the guidelines and will also report to the relevant health authority if critical limits are exceeded. Within our network we can also provide risk analysis and specialists to eliminate the causes.
Laboratory drinking water analysis versus a quick test at home
As a certified laboratory for water analysis, we would like to show you the advantages of a microbiological water analysis in our laboratory compared to a quick test at home. Our laboratory analyses provide a comprehensive and accurate examination of your water quality that goes far beyond the capabilities of home tests.
First and foremost, the reliability and accuracy of our microbiological analysis is a key advantage. While home tests are convenient and cost-effective, they often provide limited information and can be prone to user error. The sensitivity and accuracy of rapid tests are often insufficient to reliably detect all potential microorganisms, including harmful bacteria such as E. coli and coliform bacteria.
