Reference microorganisms for your quality control microbiology testing needs, including growth promotion testing (USP General Chapter <61> Microbiological Examination of Nonsterile Products: Microbial Enumeration Tests, <62> Microbiological Examination of Nonsterile Products: Tests for Specified Microorganisms, and <71> Sterility Tests).
Quantitative QC microorganisms
Each Instant Inoculator™ contains a precise quantity of authentic reference microorganisms coated and preserved on the applicator device. The microbes rapidly transfer from the device to the rehydration solution for efficient use in microbiology testing applications. Each inoculum delivers up to 10 doses of ≤100 CFU per 0.1 mL aliquot. With five applicator devices and five rehydration solutions per kit, up to 50 total doses are available for use.
The Instant Inoculator™ is an accredited reference material under ISO 17034. Each device is manufactured using authentic reference microorganisms that are fewer than 4 passages from the reference culture.
Highlights:
- User-friendly device designed to streamline microbiology workflows
- Organism is rapidly rehydrated and ready for your testing needs
- Stable for 1 year from manufacture date when stored between 2°C to 8°C
