01
Sample receipt and preparation
Define sample containers, aseptic handling, homogenization or dilution steps and the consumables named by the method.
Microbiology
Bench equipment for microbiological testing: interscience BagMixer 400P and 400W and the Seward Stomacher 400 Circulator with Gosselin and Baglight PolySilk sample bags, Funke Gerber ColonyStar and Digitech J-2 colony counters, inoculating loops, staining and slide trays, and 96-well U- and V-plates. Culture media and agars are on the Consumables & Reagents shelf. Free quotation, fast reply.
Workflow checklist
Build the equipment list from the method, not from a generic laboratory checklist
ISO 7218:2024 covers general requirements and guidance for food-chain microbiological examinations. The exact equipment still depends on the organism, sample, reference method and your laboratory quality system.

02
Culture and incubation
List media, vessels and the time and environmental conditions required by the selected method. Incubator capability must be checked model by model.
03
Detection or enumeration
Specify whether the method uses detection, colony counting, confirmation or another endpoint, then list the observation and recording equipment it calls for.
04
Sterilization and waste handling
Separate sterilization, decontamination and waste steps. Load type and procedure determine the equipment requirement; purchasing an autoclave alone does not validate a process.
05
Quality records
Include equipment identification, maintenance, calibration or verification records required by the laboratory system and the applicable test method.
Send these details with the equipment list
- Reference method or internal SOP
- Sample type and expected daily batch size
- Preparation, incubation and counting steps
- Required consumable formats and pack quantities
- Sterilization or decontamination requirement
- Required certificates, records and delivery date
Common microbiology equipment questions
Does buying equipment labelled for microbiology make a laboratory ISO 7218 compliant?
No. ISO 7218 addresses laboratory practices and technical requirements across the examination process. Equipment is one part of a wider method, facility, competence and quality system.
Can ManaEsse quote the workflow as one list?
Yes. Send the method or requisition list and quantities. We can combine catalog products and clearly mark anything that needs sourcing beyond the current catalog.
Are culture media in this category?
The category primarily groups bench equipment and microbiology accessories. Media and reagents are listed under consumables; the related links below keep the workflow connected.
