    Microbial air contamination monitoring is a key process in facilities with special air cleanliness needs. Air sampling is a regulated process that, with following simple steps, we can obtain an indicator of the quality of the air. Do you want to know how...

Making an analysis and quality control requires a flexible and user-friendly equipment in order to prepare samples efficiently. In this way, different methods have come up, such as laboratory mixers. These are suitable for intense mixing, dispersing, homogenizing,...

Microbiology, antibiotic, or tissues analysis among many other processes prove to be easier when the sample is liquid, with low viscosity and homogeneous. But what should we do when a solid, bland or with high viscosity sample need to be analyzed? The process can be...

With a paddle blender, you can obtain a sample perfectly representative of food, drug, cosmetics, or any specimen, due to its resistance and the use of sterile bags, which guarantee the sterilization of the sample during the whole homogenization process. The paddle...

Lateral flow tests, also known as lateral flow immunochromatographic assays or rapid tests, are devices intended to detect the presence of a substance in a liquid sample without the need of any specialized equipment. A lateral flow test is easy to read, and do not...

In order to carry out an optimum microbial air sampling, it is critical to know all the legislation and procedures described in air sampling. Only in this way it is possible to protocolize the best microbial air sampling ever. Although it is true that sometimes FDA...

Commercially, the lateral flow device was launched in 1984 as a simple-based pregnancy test for home use. Now, it is becoming popular because of the recent unstoppable trend towards portable and wearable technology. This new movement drives the lateral flow strip...

Lateral flow immunoassay technology is evolving rapidly. With a lateral flow reader, it is possible to detect colloidal gold or colored monodisperse latex particles, using charged coupled device cameras, detect fluorescent particles bases on LED excitation via...

Microbial air contamination monitoring is a key process in facilities with special air cleanliness needs such as pharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic industries. 14698-1 normative establishes that environmental air sampling should be carried out considering the situation...

An automatic colony counter allows any modern microbiology laboratories to perform the colony counting simply and reliably. This leads to standardized, accurate results for both whole plate and sector counts. However, those Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulated...

Spiral Plating is a U.S Official Method (Journal of the AOAC, 60 1977, Methods) recognized by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Thanks to the spiral method, a known volume of sample is inoculated, from the center to the periphery of the plate....

iPeak® is your colorimetric rapid test reader that enhances the colors of your test. Besides this, iPeak® is equipped with a state-of-the-art analysis technology that makes each iPeak® reproducible and repetitive. You can export and print the results, and also send...

Currently, there are different techniques to plate and each one of them has a specific use and properties and some prior procedures such as serial dilution are required. So, although we have different ways of plating or monitoring microbial growth in culture, four of...

The Spiral Plater is a two-in-one method: diluter and plater at the same time, one of the most time- and waste volume- saving methods of inoculation, that is why more and more microbiological laboratories are using Spiral Plater for bacterial determination. The Spiral...

The concern about indoor air quality has grown, not only in air-controlled environments such as pharmaceutical manufacturing areas, hospitals or food processing facilities but also in homes and workplaces. Deteriorated indoor air quality may cause adverse effects such...
