Product news
The PathoProof™ product family has expanded to include a new reagent kit for detection of the three contagious mastitis pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae and Mycoplasma bovis. For the first time in mastitis management, Mycoplasma bovis can now be detected in only four hours whereas conventional culturing takes 7-10 days.
PathoProof™ Mastitis Major-3 Kit can be integrated into milk recording programs using bronopol-preserved milk. It also enables testing of bulk tank milk samples creating an efficient way to simultaneously screen an entire herd for contagious mastitis-causing bacteria.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
