Qualitative control strains as Certified Reference Material for ISO 17025 accredited labs Increasing regulatory oversight in food, pharmaceutical and water industries has prompted many microbiology labs to seek accreditation to ISO 17025 standards. The Lab-Elite CRM, from Microbiologics®, is designed to help those labs meet the requirements of this standard which specify that “reference materials shall, where possible, be traceable to SI units of measurements, or to Certified Reference Materials (section 5.6.3.2)”. Lab-Elite CRM microorganisms are just one passage from the reference culture and are delivered in our signature KWIK-STIK format. As a Certified Reference Material, Lab-Elite comes with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis detailing the strains identity and characteristics. Applications & Test Methods- ISO 17025 laboratories requiring CRM
- Validation/verification of processes and instruments

QC microorganisms with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) markers It’s not uncommon for food samples to inadvertently become contaminated with control strains used in the laboratory. This leads to false-positive results which can have severe financial and regulatory implications. UV-BioTAG, our line of reference strains containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) markers, make it easy to distinguish standard microorganism strains from laboratory control strains. Optimised for highly visible fluorescence, UV-BioTAG strains provide better stability because the GFP marker is integrated into the chromosome rather than the plasmid. With UV-BioTAG, you can quickly and reliably establish whether a positive test result can be traced back to a control strain cross-contamination issue, or if it is from another source. Applications & Test Methods- Enumeration Methods
- Detection Methods
- Demonstration of Capability (DOC)
- Media QC
- Validation/Verification

PreBioM™ Microplates Introducing The PreBioM™ line of microplates from Biolog. The microplates allow researchers studying human or animal gut microbiome communities to better understand metabolism of prebiotics. PreBioM plates offer a multidimensional phenotype profiling solution based on the impact of prebiotics on microbial function. The three-plate system contains 90 unique prebiotic substrates tailored to investigate the intricate interplay between prebiotics and the microbiome. These plates consist of a curated selection of prebiotic substrates of various molecular weights designed to characterise bacterial species and their metabolic pathways. The PreBioM plates, combined with the Biolog Odin family of instruments and software, provide a high throughput phenotypic solution compatible with a wide range of species, including the obligate anaerobes inhabiting the gut microbiome as well as microbial communities.
