Microbiology products for the isolation, identification, and enumeration of waterborne microorganisms
Our complete testing workflows help you to ensure safe, clean, and compliant water. From peptones to plates and filters, our high-quality media are compliant and certified according to ISO requirements for performance filter combination testing. We also have full manufacturing process traceability from raw materials to final products, ensuring rigorous quality and complete confidence.
Complete convenience when preparing water samples for Legionella testing
Conveniently prepare water samples when isolating and enumerating Legionella species according to EN ISO 11731 water quality testing specifications using Thermo Scientific Legionella Acid Buffer Solution. The convenient high-quality, transparent PET bottle has a leak-proof screw top made of PET and is lighter and more shatter-resistant than glass, making it better for handling in the laboratory as well as shipping.
Legionella anisa QC testing strain available
To support your laboratory’s water testing processes, we have added Thermo Scientific Culti-Loops Quality Control Legionella anisa NCTC 11974 (WDCM 00106) to our quality control testing organism range. Culti-Loops Quality Control organisms enable quick and safe preparation of cultures for QC testing with ready-to-use, disposable inoculation loops containing gel-stabilised micro-organisms.
Legionella anisa is the second most often isolated Legionella species from water samples, after Legionella pneumophila.
Prepared media transport temperature and time tracking
We guarantee the performance of your prepared plate media products throughout their entire shelf life. We conduct simulation studies according to SOP BT-SOP-6958 procedure (ISO) to assess product performance following room temperature transportation. Use the transport data captured by the Data Logger USB to ensure that the validated room temperature storage parameters, or shelf-life report with transportation simulation, have not been exceeded.
