Microorganism Tests

Supplier: VWR Chemicals

Microbiological laboratories need a simple procedure to maintain important microorganisms rather than repetitive sub-culturing, which results in contaminated cultures, loss of viability and, even more importantly, loss of original characteristics by introducing biochemical and genetic changes. Cryoinstant consists of 25 porous beads in a vial filled with a broth containing glycerol. Microorganisms will bind to the porous surface of the beads. The excess broth is aspirated, and the vials stored at temperatures down to –70 °C in a freezer.

Supplier: LIOFILCHEM

Lyophilised reference stock culture preparations containing a single strain of a microorganism for quality control of culture media, education and proficiency programs. Lyophilisation is a method for long-term preservation of microorganisms. The microorganism preparations are derived from NCTC® (National Collection of Type Cultures by the UK Health Security Agency - UKHSA).

Sucrose is used as a source of energy readily available for bacteria in fermentation tests (i.e. Klebsiella pneumoniae ferments sucrose whilst Salmonella typhimurium gives a negative reaction). It free from other sugars and from starch, proteins and metals. Sucrose can be used as an ingredient of dehydrated culture media and need dissolution in distilled or deionised water and sterilisation by autoclaving.

Serratia species are implicated in nosocomial infections. In several countries, Serratia marcescens is frequently associated with epidemics in intensive care units and in particular in neonatal and pediatric units. Surveillance of nosocomial infections requires effective recovery of clinical isolates from faeces, wound exudates and respiratory samples to prevent problems of cross infection and potentially fatal infections. In this context, CHROMagar™ has developed CHROMagar™ Serratia, a culture medium perfectly suited to the search for S. marcescens in faeces. In addition, S. marcescens is able to survive days to months on surfaces, distilled water and hand soap, making it an important pathogen in nosocomial infections and sporadic epidemics.

Microbiology labs often require a straightforward method for long-term frozen storage of microorganisms for preserving key microbial strains without relying on frequent sub-culturing. Each vial contains tryptic soy broth +15% glycerol. This liquid guarantees the long-term frozen storage of microorganisms.
