Microbiology media facilitate the detection, isolation, and cultivation of microorganism colonies. Culture media additives and supplements enhance the growth capability of specific organisms. Prepared nutrient broths help establish the complex environment that even fastidious organisms require. Containing the nutritional elements that enable cells to multiply, the predetermined substance quantities add additional control to tests. Choose the gel or liquid microbiology media that is most compatible with working cell types.

Dip slides for surfaces and in liquids, Envirocheck®
Supplier: Merck
Envirocheck® contact slides are widely used to check critical control points (CCP's) within the HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point) for the microbiological hygiene control of surfaces in production lines and equipment. Additionally these slides can be used to check the microbiological hygiene status of liquids. The use of a variety of media on the contact slides allows the detection of organisms from liquids as well as surfaces. These slides provide semi-quantitative results for five different parameters. Easy incubation in the Cultura® mini incubator also reduces the necessary workspace. Each contact slide is packed in a PC tube, which protects the agar media against contamination before and after sampling.

Dehydrated culture media
Supplier: Merck
Dehydrated media are used for a wide variety of applications. To minimise the risks associated with powdered culture media, the majority of Merck's dehydrated culture media is produced in granular form. Merck uses ingredients of non animal origin to minimise the potential risk of transmissible spongiform encephalitis (TSE). When there is no alternative, only ingredients which are recommended by EDQM, and belonging to TSE category B or C are used. This ensures that the product is of the highest quality and in compliance with the standards for food control, microbiological testing on finished products and starting materials, and quality control in the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries. Custom-made media can be prepared to meet individual customer specifications. The formulation is kept confidential via a Non Disclosure Agreement. Please enquire for further details.

Enterobacter sakazakii agar, Chromocult®
Supplier: Merck
Selective medium for the detection of Enterobacter sakazakii in milk powder and powdered infant formula. The base in Chromocult ® Enterobacter sakazakii agar allows good growth and strong colour formation of E. sakazakii colonies. The addition of inhibitors and the incubation temperature of 44 °C largely reduce the growth of the majority of gram-positive and gram-negative accompanying flora. E. sakazakii is ß-D-glucosidase positive and grows as blue-green colonies on this medium. Incubation: 24 ±2 hours at 44 ±1 °C. Incubation temperature has a strong influence on sensitivity and selectivity of this method. Temperatures higher than 45 °C will inhibit the growth of E.sakazakii. Temperatures below 43 °C will reduce inhibition of accompanying bacteria.
