The ZymoBIOMICS Fecal Reference with TruMatrix™ Technology is a microbial reference material composed of stool from healthy donors for quality control, process validation, assay development, and proficiency testing. 

Membrane Filter Fecal Coliform Agar. Typical Composition (g/L): Proteose peptone 5.0; bile salts 1.5; tryptose 10.0; lactose 12.5; yeast extract 3.0; methyl-blue (formerly aniline blue) 0.1; sodium chloride 5.0; agar-agar 15.0.Application: For the detection of fecal coliforms in water using the membrane filter technique.

Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) is used in combination with X-gal to detect β-galactosidase activity in blue/white selection assays. When the appropriate vectors are used, blue white screening is an important tool for screening and selecting relevant colonies.

Agilent X-gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside, BCIG) is a premium quality chromogenic substrate of β-Galactosidase. It is used with cloning systems that utilize β-galactosidase activity as an indicator of successful cloning.

Overnight Express™ Instant TB Medium is a complete granulated culture medium for high-level protein production without the need to monitor cell growth in the pET and other IPTG-inducible bacterial expression systems. Cell mass and target protein yield are often increased several-fold as compared with induction using IPTG. The method is based on media components that are metabolized differentially to promote growth to high dens…

AGAR EUROPEAN TYPE, The European approach of bacteriology is to use as little agar as possible in order not to introduce unknown substances to the culture media. For this reason, the gel strength is higher (800-1100 g/cm2), and can be used at lower concentrations. The ash content is low (
