Due to its excellent separation capacity and its high sensitivity gas chromatography is a widely used technique for analytical purposes. In order to get proper identification and quantification results of the analysed compounds, reference standards are needed. These PESTINORM® reference substances can be used for the characterisation of GC column properties. In addition they may also be used for the identification of unknown compounds in a gas chromatogram or as standards in quantitative GC analysis.

The HY-LiTE® TREND2 software can be used to compile HACCP plans and individual limits. Graphs showing results make them easy to evaluate and interpret. HY-LiTE® is already used in a wide variety of production and processing fields, like the food industry, packing industry, services (cleaning of buildings), community catering and large scale kitchens, drinks manufacturers, state-owned institutions or the pharmaceutical industry.

Supplier: INTERSCIENCE

easySpiral® and easySpiral® Pro spiral platers, two very fast platers. A predetermined volume of bacterial suspension is sprayed in the shape of a spiral in a logarithmic dilution onto four areas of the Petri dish. The deposited volume corresponds to the set dilution factor. With easySpiral® Pro, it is possible to export to Excel.

Supplier: Merck

Used to detect mycobacteria (AFB cold staining)

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.

This medium conforms to the ALOA (agar Listeria acc. to Ottaviani and Agosti) medium, a selective medium for the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes in food (AFNOR-validated method). It also enables the testing, sampling and enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. in foodstuffs and other source materials. The rich base of the Chromocult® Listeria selective agar encourages excellent growth. The supplement of inhibitors stops most of the bacteria, yeast and fungi from growing. In contrast, Listeria is uninhibited in its growth, producing blue-green colonies; L. monocytogenes also form an opaque halo.
