Product news

Microbiology culture media specialist Lab M (Bury, UK) has a fresh new look and a brand new website (www.labm.com). Medica (15-18 Nov 06, Düsseldorf, Germany) will be the first trade show for the company since these were unveiled in October. Visitors to the Lab M stand will be able to take a tour of the new website, and the company’s technical specialists will be on hand to discuss specific products and their applications.

Central to the Lab M portfolio is its Harlequin range of chromogenic isolation and identification media. This includes the first dehydrated Listeria medium to be formulated as specified by ISO 11290. The medium is used as a primary isolation medium for L. monocytogenes in foodstuffs and related materials. Extensive international validation studies have confirmed Harlequin Listeria to be both sensitive and specific - with a 34% increase in positive isolations over traditional media.

LAB M offers a wide range of chromogenic products, including Salmonella and E.coli media.

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.
