Lab reagents, culture media and everyday consumables: Merck and RCI-Labscan solvents and analytical-grade chemicals, Merck and Difco media, pH buffers and conductivity standards, chlorine and hardness test kits, pipette tips, microtubes, Petri dishes and Whatman filter paper. Send the list with grade and pack size, and we will quote it free on the same quotation as your instruments and glassware.
A basic science-laboratory instrument for heating and burning chemicals to observe the flame colour when studying the properties and composition of elements, or for use with a tripod and wire gauze to boil water, chemicals and mixtures; also for flame-sterilising equipment in science laboratories, tissue-culture rooms and other work that requires heat.
Pack size 500 g. Premium-grade, high-quality agar powder made from seaweed under a management system that allows quality to be checked and processes improved at every step, so it meets demand and plays an important role in industries such as confectionery, dairy, tissue culture, pharmaceuticals and microbiology.
A gas-trap tube, or Durham tube, is generally used in biology experiments to monitor gas produced by micro-organisms. The tube is placed upside down inside a larger test tube; at the start of the experiment a growth medium in which the micro-organisms can grow is added to the Durham tube, which is then incubated in an incubator.
Lauryl sulfate broth (LSB) is widely used to detect coliform bacteria in wastewater, dairy products, other food products and clinical samples. It is a cream-yellow, homogeneous, free-flowing powder that dissolves readily in water at 25 °C, pH 6.8 ± 2.
Pack size 500 g. Bacto™ Tryptone is used in preparing microbiological culture media. Ingredients, where noted, meet United States Pharmacopeia (USP) performance specifications.
Nutrient Agar (NA) culture medium is used to test for common, fast-growing microorganisms that do not require a selective medium. This medium complies with EN ISO 6579, EN ISO/FDIS 6579-1, EN ISO 6785 I IDF 93, EN ISO 10273, EN ISO 19250, EN ISO 21528 and APHA.
Pack size 500 g. Bacto Peptone is an animal origin (AO) enzymatic digest of bovine and porcine animal proteins. The nutritive value of Bacto Peptone is largely dependent on a combination of a negligible quantity of proteases, high concentration of complex constituents, and a unique amino acid content that makes this peptone a strong nitrogen source.
Sterile petri dish; Made of polystyrene (Polystyrene); Size 90x15 mm; For culturing viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens; Pack size 500 pieces per box
Sterile petri dish; Made of polystyrene (Polystyrene); Size 90x15 mm; For culturing viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens; Pack size 10 pieces per pack
Plate count agar (PCA) culture medium is used for total microbial count testing of samples such as food, drinking water and other sample types. This medium complies with EN ISO 4833, ISO 17410, FDA-BAM and APHA.
Pack size 500 g. Plate Count Agar and Standard Methods Agar (Plate Count Agar; Tryptone Glucose Yeast Agar) are used for obtaining microbial plate counts from milk and dairy products, foods, water and other materials of sanitary importance.
Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) culture medium is used to test for moulds and yeasts found in food, drinking water and other types of sample. This medium complies with the American Public Health Association for food (1992) and the United States Pharmacopeia.
Pack size 500 g. Potato Dextrose Agar is used for the cultivation and enumeration of yeasts and molds. Potato Dextrose Agar meets United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) performance specifications, where applicable.
Pack size 500 g. A bacterial culture medium containing enzymatic digests of casein and soybean as a source of amino acids and other nutrients, dextrose as a carbon source, sodium chloride to maintain osmotic pressure, and dipotassium phosphate as a buffer. Blood or antibiotics may be added as required for the cultivation work.
Violet Red Bile Lactose Agar (VRB agar) culture medium is used for enumerating coliform bacteria in food, water and other samples. This medium complies with ISO 4832, FDA-BAM and APHA, and contains crystal violet and bile salts to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.
Used for flame-sterilising equipment in laboratories and tissue-culture rooms, for boiling water, chemicals and mixtures, for burning substances in flame tests to study elemental composition, and for other heat work such as welding, joining and flaming
Commonly used equipment in general laboratories (for Petri dishes); Made of good-quality stainless steel; Strong and durable, does not harbour germs; Easy to clean
A spreader for spreading substances or inoculum on culture plates and for streaking cultures on nutrient agar, used in science laboratories and biology work; 7 inches long.
