Pathogen Detection

Dehydrated culture media

Media granulation minimizes the formation of dust, significantly reducing the dangers associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, for a safer work environment.

Advantages of our granulated culture media:

  • Excellent wettability, solubility and free-flowing properties
  • Minimized component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
  • High batch-to-batch reproducibility
  • Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
  • Granulation allows for inclusion of many supplements, eliminating the need to add these separately

Chromogenic media can provide a rapid alternative method for detecting certain microorganisms. The chromogenic substrates used confer clearly distinguishable colors to different colony types, allowing clear differentiation and identification of the microorganisms. Our ChromoCult® media can be used to detect a range of microorganisms including Listeria monocytogenes, Cronobacter spp., E. coli and coliforms and if listed in international standards, they are quality controlled with the same regulatory comprehensiveness as GranuCult® media.

Many types of media require supplements or additives such as antibiotics, glycerol or Tergitolâ„¢ to ensure optimal growth of the microorganisms. For ease of opening, our supplements are provided with a user-friendly screw cap and a separate rubber stopper closure. They are also freeze-dried so that no hazardous substances or aerosols are inhaled when opening.
