Media fills

Chromogenic media enable the selective detection of S. aureus, which produce bluish-green colonies that are clearly differentiated from other species.

Vegetable and Plant Peptones: Alternatives to Animal-derived Peptones in Microbiology

Plant-based vegetable peptones are strictly of non-animal origin, so they pose no risk of carrying animal and human diseases such as BSE into fermentations and produced materials.

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.

Aseptic Process Simulation in the Pharmaceutical Industry

High quality granulated and ready-to-use culture media irradiated for accurate and reliable aseptic process simulations.

Halal & Kosher Certified Microbial Culture Media

Halal-certified culture media prevent non-halal ingredient contamination, enabling microbiological QC testing without losing certification.

Microbiology: Media Preparation

Adapt culture media for optimal microbial growth, considering nutrients and environmental conditions.

Cell Culture Protocol 10: Testing Cells for Mycoplasma Contamination by Hoechst DNA Staining

Cell culture protocol for testing cell lines for mycoplasma contamination using indirect DNA staining using Hoechst 33342.

Microbiology Quality Control in Food and Beverage

Food contaminated by microorganisms (bacteria and yeasts), viruses, and protozoa can cause severe disease.

Media Selection Made Easy

In this webinar, our media fill experts give an overview of what to consider when selecting media for aseptic process simulations.

Key Challenges when Selecting Media for Media Fill Tests

In this webinar, we cover the requirements for aseptic manufacturers when selecting media for media fill tests or aseptic process simulations.

Initiating a Starter Culture

Aseptic Process Simulation (APS)

Aseptic Process Simulation (APS), also known as Media Fill test, evaluates the aseptic manufacturing process by using a sterile microbiological culture medium. It ensures that aseptic techniques are effective in preventing contamination during production.
