Traditional methods

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.

- 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.

- 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

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.
