Microbial limit testing

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®.

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.

- Microbial testing won’t be a burden when you use EZ-Fit® filtration units. The sterilized, disposable filtration devices for bioburden testing streamline your workflow, save time and give you highly reliable microbial enumeration results. 

EZ-Fluo™ is a non-destructive method that enables you to continue to grow the microorganisms after they have been stained in order to identify them using any standard ID technology. This is a tremendous advantage compared to other rapid test systems which cannot ID microorganisms using the same sample that was tested to detect the contamination

- CRM Vitroids™ and LENTICULE® reference strains contain live microbial strains with confirmed concentrations (accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025), produced under standardized conditions, and reproducible in compliance with ISO 17034:2016 regulations.- Maximum number of generations: 3, cross-referenced with ATCC and WDCM – Shelf life of 16 - 24 months.

S-Pak Filters 0.45 µm 47 mm white gridded are made from mixed esters of cellulose and have been optimized for MF method microbiological analysis of water or other liquids

- The Milliflex Oasis® filtration system is used for testing water samples and bioburden limits. It includes: an all-in-one pump and filtration head; pre-sterilized filter funnels with an option for special PVDF membranes used for samples containing antibiotics, complying with USP <1227>; culture media compliant with the pharmacopoeia.- The filtration system reduces the risk of secondary contamination in line with recommendations from USP <61> EP 2.6.12 JP 4.05 part 1. Additionally, its traceability feature complies with USP <1117.
