 A fast, non-destructive, fluorescent staining-based system for microbial detection.The EZ-Fluo™ system uses proven technology based on a universal enzymatic fluorescent staining of viable microorganisms.Non-destructive method, compatible with any ID technique. Reincubation for microorganism identification.This new system uses standard membrane filtration to detect viable and culturable microorganisms down to 1 CFU per sample.

Media preparation as simple as pressing a buttonThe revolutionary new ReadyStream® system makes culture media preparation and dispensing  easier than ever before. The irradiated media bags contain dry culture media for either 30 or  100 liters. Type II water is added to dissolve the media and create a 10x concentrated media  that can be used for up to 5 days. The concentrated media bags are much easier to handle,  store and rehydrated and weight only about a tenth of the weight of a fully reconstituted  media bag.

Merck’s Singlepath® and Duopath® Lateral Flow Tests are immunoassays for detecting pathogens with the ultimate convenience. Covering the major pathogens, the tests act as mini-laboratories in the “pregnancy test” format and always include a built-in control reaction. Another major advantage is that they deliver definite results as little as 20 minutes after sample enrichment.Merck Lateral Flow Tests offer all the benefits of traditional testing methods with the addition of simplicity, speed, reliability and convenience. Use in combination with our granulated culture media to ensure optimal test performance. Singlepath® E. coli O157, Singlepath® Salmonella, Singlepath® Campylobacter and Duopath® Verotoxins rapid tests are AOAC-RI approved.
