TAMC
Total aerobic microbial count, determined on Soybean-Casein Digest Agar at 30–35 °C for 3–5 days, as described in USP <61>. Any fungi that grow on this medium are included in the count. TAMC is reported as CFU per gram or mL and compared with the acceptance criterion for the dosage form, for example 10³ CFU/g for non-aqueous oral products, which allows a maximum of 2,000 CFU/g.
