Vibrio Detection
Vibrios are motile, curved or comma-shaped bacilli and have a single polar flagella with sheet proteins. They are often found in open water, freshwater and saltwater.
Microbiological Control of Spices and Herbs
Microbiological assessment of bacteria found in spices, a potent source for food spoilage and pathogens.
Culture Method for Beer Quality Control
Traditional methods are based morphology, staining methods, enzyme reactions (metabolism) and diverse media.
Base Ingredients of Microbiology Media
Culture media provides a habitat with suitable nutrients, energy sources, and certain environmental conditions for the growth of microorganisms. The components of the culture media range from simple sugars to peptones, salts, antibiotics, and complex indicators.
Halal and Kosher Certified Culture Media for Microbial Testing
Find out about the implications of culture media carrying hidden non-halal ingredients into halal-certified production areas—and how halal-certified media avoid this risk. Perform microbiological quality control (QC) testing in halal-certified production areas without the risk of losing your certification.
Yeast Peptone, the Peptone of the Future
Unlike traditional animal or vegetable peptones, alternative yeast peptones do not contain allergens, pesticides, human pathogens or GMO material. They pose no obstacle to HALAL manufacturing and are not subject to import or export restrictions.
Media Fills Test for Beverages
Media fill tests for beverages ensure that the filling line is not contaminated with spoilage bacteria, yeasts, or molds, during the production of low-acid aseptic beverages.
Differentiation and Identification Media for Salmonella
Salmonella contamination is the second leading cause of food-borne illness worldwide. Controlling outbreaks of Salmonella is an important task for food regulators, restaurants and the food industry in general. The Salmonella family includes over 2,300 serotypes of bacteria, but two types
EN ISO 11133 and Water for the Preparation and Performance Testing of Microbiological Culture Media
See how two water sources compare when preparing and performance testing microbiological culture media acc. to EN ISO 11133: centrally purified water vs. water from a Milli-Q® IX system were assessed. Tests included media specific for Listeria and Salmonella pathogens.
Viable but Nonculturable (VBNC) Bacteria
Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria describes cells that cannot be normally cultured however, “resuscitation” of these cells can be mediated by a physical and different kind of chemical stimuli.
Clostridium perfringens, their Properties and their Detection
Clostridium perfringens can cause contamination in undercooked or improperly sterillized canned foods and water. Learn to detect, identify, and differentiate this pathogen.
Microbiological Media and Detection
Molecular biology-based methods, like PCR, can be used for lactobacilli detection. However, they are often quite expensive. We provide a revolutionary molecular biology method that is rapid, easy, and cost-effective.
Water for Microbiology Media Preparation
Discover the importance of water quality in microbiology and its impact on reliable and reproducible results in culture media preparation. Learn about the EN ISO 11133 standard, lab water solutions, and purification technologies recommended for microbiological testing.
Salmonella Contamination and Rapid Detection Methods
Salmonella pass through the entire food chain from animal feed, primary production, and into households or food-service establishments.
Sterility Testing Culture Media & Rinsing Fluids
Our sterility testing media and fluids are formulated and tested to meet EU, US, and JP pharmacopeia regulations, and are supplied with full certification containing pH, sterility, and growth promotion information.
Microbiology Introduction
Introduction to Microbiology Theory. An initial aim of all microbiologists is the reproducible growth of their microbial cultures, no matter whether the microorganisms are of natural origin or have been genetically engineered by man.
Microbiology Quality Assurance
Microbiology product line quality assurance. n Fluka's corporate policy, quality assurance is among the priority objectives. This also explains the clear-cut structure of the quality assurance organisation which is superimposed on the normal corporate structure.
MC-Media Pad – Validation Summary
This article will focus on results obtained for MC-Media Pad RAC, MC-Media Pad Coliform, MC-Media Pad E. coli & Coliform & MC-Media Pad Yeast & Mold.

Food for thought: EN ISO 11133:2014
The new EN ISO 11133:2014 quality-assured culture media for food and water testing to enhance consumer safety. The ultimate aim of the new standard is to further improve the safety of the food and beverage products we consume.
Microbiology Theory: Media Preparation
Microorganisms need nutrients, a source of energy and certain environmental conditions in order to grow and reproduce. In the environment, microbes have adapted to the habitats most suitable for their needs, in the laboratory, however, these requirements must be met
EN ISO 11133:2014 Quality-assured Culture Media for Food and Water Testing to Enhance Consumer Safety
EN ISO 11133:2014 - Mandatory standard for media preparation, production, storage and performance testing. In May 2014, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the revised EN ISO 11133, which is now a full standard and as such, mandatory for

DiluCult™ Gravimetric Dilutor & Sample Homogenizer Product Range
Simplify your food sample preparation with our DiluCult™ gravimetric dilutors and enrichment sample homogenizer. These instruments automate the dilution of food testing samples with the necessary enrichment media to increase workflow efficiency.
Types of Media in Microbiology
The different types of culture media, that are used to grow microorganisms in the laboratory for quality control, are classified by several criteria, such as consistency, composition, or selectivity.
Comparison of Granulated and Powdered Dehydrated Culture Media
Microbial culture media is available in both powdered and granulated forms. This article compares the characteristics of each culture media format with regards to safety, handling and convenience.
