Choosing a supplier for culture media for environmental monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry is not a step to be taken lightly. A poor choice can be very detrimental not only to the lab but also to production. To help you make the right decision, we have listed in this article the key points to check […]
Neutralizers are commonly used in pharmaceutical culture media for environmental monitoring. TSA+LTHT (Lecithin, Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80), Histidine, and Thiosulfate) and TSA+LT are considered standard for neutralization. However, the exact types and concentrations of each neutralizers are not specified in either the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) or the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). This expertise in formulating […]
One of the most important factors for a microbiology incubator is maintaining a consistent temperature throughout. No one wants 38°C at the top and 34°C at the bottom! To keep the temperature homogeneous, there are two main technologies: natural convection and forced convection. When buying your incubator, you’ll need to choose between these two options! […]
Here are the results of the surveys we conducted on our LinkedIn page with the SuperMicrobiologistes on environmental monitoring in pharmaceutical laboratories. You’ll find everything you need to know about culture media, incubation temperatures, and viable air samplers. If anything is missing or unclear, feel free to reach out to us!
Here are the results of the surveys we conducted on our Linkedin page with the SuperMicrobiologistes regarding the incubators used in microbiology laboratories. Everything you want to know about microbiological incubators should be here, but if not, feel free to ask us!
Microbiology labs around the world have one thing in common… they all use incubators. Often, even more than one! Without incubator, there would be no standardized analysis, no bacteria, and no lab microbiology. The incubator is THE microbiologist’s essential tool. But here’s the thing, not all incubators are the same. In this article, we’ll give […]
In a microbiology lab, there’s one thing we all dread: cross-contamination. Yes, that witch can strike at any time, whether on the bench or worse… in the incubator! And according to our latest LinkedIn survey, more than half of you have already experienced contamination in your incubator. A “contaminated” incubator is a disaster. It can […]
As we highlighted in our article : How to choose a gravimetric Dilutor, if there’s one piece of equipment you can’t afford to get wrong in a food microbiology lab, it’s the gravimetric diluter. One bad choice and disaster strikes! The “superpower” of SuperMicrobiologists is that nearly 20,000 of us work in microbiology labs every […]
The gravimetric dilutor, has become an indispensable tool in food microbiology laboratories in just a few years. We are not afraid to say that it is THE central piece of equipment in the food QC lab (standardization, traceability, productivity, etc.). Needless to say, when switching to a new model, you can’t afford to make a […]
We surveyed the SuperMicrobiologists working in food microbiology labs to find out which culture media preparators they prefer (for the production of enrichment broth). Two brands of media preparators came out on top in this survey, and we’ll introduce them in this article. Contents: What is a media preparator? A media preparator (also called Media […]
