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

Provides A Superior Tracheal Seal … A Better Fit and Better Seal The MICROCUFF* tube from AVANOS, has advanced microthin polyurethane cuff material that allows the channels to “self-seal,” reducing the possibility of leakage. The build of the tube provides an effective seal at low cuff pressure. In turn, the MICROCUFF* may reduce micro-aspiration of potentially infectious pharyngeal secretions14. What’s more, it is designed for better contact with tracheal contour14. The thinner material enables greater visualisation of vocal cords when cuff is deflated. The MICROCUFF* is non-sterile and made from natural rubber that is latex-free. Intended for use in adults and for single-use. REFS: For references please refer to attached brochure - View MICROCUFF* Endotracheal Tubes Brochure here -
A new standard for paediatric airway management MICROCUFF* Paediatric Endotracheal Tubes from AVANOS, designed specifically for the paediatric anatomy, offer the advantages of a cuffed tube, reducing tracheal trauma and providing a sealed airway that allows minimal and low flow anaesthesia use.1 Its short and cylindrical cuff membrane compensates for different sized and shaped paediatric airways, reducing the need for replacing oversized tracheal tubes, and resulting in lower re-intubation rates.13 The MICROCUFF* brand has changed the existing green Vent Connector on all of the MICROCUFF* tubes and replaced it with a blue Vent Connector. REFS: For references please refer to attached brochure - View MICROCUFF* Endotracheal Tubes Brochure here -
Provides A Superior Tracheal Seal … Proven to Reduce Leakage AVANOS* MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tubes are available in adult sizes with a Murphy Eye. They include a separate lumen with a dorsal opening above the cuff to provide access to the subglottic space. The subglottic space is reached via a normally open suction valve which includes a one-way port for rinsing the subglottic space with sterile saline (0.95% Sodium Chloride solution) or administering an air bolus to assist in maintaining suction lumen patency. Multiple size options available for the MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tube. Sizing options for the inner diameter vary between 7mm and 9mm. Similarly, the outer diameter sizing ranges from 10.4mm to 12.8mm. Cuff sizes come in 28mm and 30mm. The MICROCUFF* Subglottic Suctioning Adult Endotracheal Tubes are manufactured from natural rubber that is latex-free. EO Sterilised, they should be used no more than once.
