Microbiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

BD BBL™ prepared tubed media offer a variety of media types and fill volumes to fit your needs. Tubes are borosilicate glass with black screw caps securely fitted to prevent loss of moisture. A special resilient rubber liner is affixed inside each cap with a unique adhesive that resists displacement even during autoclaving. Larger tubes permit easy inoculation or streaking of media. Prepared slanted media are supplied in tube…
A selective and differential medium for the isolation and presumptive identification of Salmonella species from stool with a highly specific chromogenic reaction.
For detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE)
BBL CHROMagar ESBL biplate is a chromogenic selective screening medium for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae-producing, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs):
Technical Advantage: Effective against Gram-positive and -negative Bacteria, and mycoplasma Gentamicin works as an antimicrobial agent by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of certain bacteria. It is formulated to contain 50 mg/ml gentamicin in deionized water and is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 1 ml/L. This product is effective against mycoplasma, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and is st…
The InviScreen ® Norovirus Detection Kit provides a real-time RT-PCR method for the qualitative detection of norovirus genogroups I (GI) and II (GII) in food samples. The method is based on ISO 15216 and detects specific regions in the conserved 5′ end of the ORF1-ORF2 junction. The method is applicable to test samples of foodstuffs and surface swabs. The kit includes Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) as a process control vi…
The InviScreen ® STEC Detection Kit provides a real-time PCR method for the qualitative detection of STEC E. coli in food samples. The method is based on ISO 13136 and detects the presence of the stx1 and stx2 genes (associated with cytotoxicity) and the eae gene which is associated with the capability of the bacteria to adhere to the intestinal epithelium and cause disease. The method is applicable to products intended for h…
The InviScreen ® Clostridium Botulinum Detection Kit is specifically designed for the qualitative detection of the specific botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) A, B, E and F of Clostridium botulinum in food, feed, and environmental samples. The real-time PCR procedure for detecting the presence of genes encoding BoNT type A (BoNT/A), type B (BoNT/B), type E (BoNT/E) and type F (BoNT/F) complies with the ISO/TS 17919 standard. The…
