A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC), also known as a Biosafety Cabinet is mainly used for handling pathogenic biological samples or for applications that require a sterile work zone. A biological safety cabinet creates inflow and downflow of air that provides operator protection. The downflow air passes through an ULPA/HEPA filter and creates an ISO Class 3 work zone to protect samples from the risk of cross-contaminationTo guarantee the biological safety cabinet's optimum performance these are tested and classified by 2 standards: EN 12469:2000 and NSF 49.

Granular media - GranuCult®, and powdered media - NutriSelect® with multiple quality control levels that comply with various standards such as EP, USP, JP, ISO, or FDA-BAM. Additionally, there are rapid culture media (chromogenic media): ChromoCult®, ReadyCult®, and FluoroCult®.

DiluCult™ are gravimetric dilutor instruments which are designed for automatic dilution of food testing samples with the necessary enrichment media to increase workflow efficiency.Two robotic dispensing arms provide increased safety and can be used to dilute large pooled samples up to 5kg

The Enrichment Sample Homogenizer is used for automatic homogenization of food enrichment samples with enrichment media.The ESH instrument does not damage cells and bacteria contained in the sample, and does not require sterilization. 

The EZ-Fit® filtration system complies with water sample testing regulations and bioburden limits, adhering to international standards such as EP, USP, and ISO. The filtration system includes the EZ-Fit™ Manifold multi-branch filter holder, the quiet-operating EZ-Stream™ Pump, and various types of filter funnels (glass, stainless steel, plastic with membrane), along with the optional EZ-Pak® membrane dispenser.The filter membranes are available in pore sizes of 0.22µm, 0.45µm, and 0.8µm, made from various materials. Notably, the special PVDF membrane is used for samples containing antibiotics and antimicrobial agents.
