Microbial ID microplates from Biolog

Biolog Solutions for Microbial Identification

Rapidly and accurately identify nearly 3,000 species of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and fungi.

In addition to species-level identification, Biolog’s advanced phenotypic technology provides valuable information on the functional properties of strains. Biolog’s carbon source utilisation technology identifies environmental and pathogenic microorganisms by producing a characteristic pattern or “metabolic fingerprint” from discrete test reactions performed within a 96-well microplate. Culture suspensions are tested with a panel of pre-selected assays, then incubated, read and compared to our extensive database.

Biolog’s Microbial ID microplates incorporate a patented redox tetrazolium dye that changes colour as a result of cellular respiration, providing a metabolic fingerprint.

Our complete solution includes instruments, consumables, databases, software.

Identifying with Odin and ID Station

When using Biolog’s microbial identification microplates, the right system can help you interpret your results to ensure correct identification. Depending on your level of throughput, we offer different solutions to support your needs:

Odin™ family Fully automated incubator/readers with up to an 8-plate capacity (Odin VIII) or a 50-plate capacity (Odin L) with software that can identify aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi.
ID Station™ A single plate reader with a software package that can identify aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi.
