Microbiology Methods

Sample collection, maintaining microbial viability during transport, aliquoting, and other sample preparation requirements are important for successful cultures for pathogens and contamination. Find swabs and transport media, sample containers and bottles, and other essential products for collecting, transporting, and maintaining the integrity of your samples.

Once your microbes have grown sufficiently, identification of their genus and species can help you determine the source of the contamination and appropriate treatment or remediation. Choose reagents, rapid test kits, and, stock cultures for quality control, and microplates and readers for automated analysis

Proper incubation, including continuous mixing, can be critical to microbial cultures, especially when culturing more fastidious organisms. Multiple standard and CO₂ incubators, environmental chambers, temperature and humidity dataloggers, and other laboratory equipment can help you produce the right conditions to optimize microbial growth.
