The 3M Petrifilm™ Coliform™ Count Plate is a sample-ready-culture-medium system which contains Violet Red Bile (VRB) nutrients, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, and a tetrazolium indicator that facilitates colony enumeration in food and beverage samples.

HiPurA™ Competent Cells are specially made chemically competent DH5a cells which makes cloning experiments easier.  

Baird-Parker Agar, for Staphylococcus, contact plate with Lok-Tight™ friction lid, optional locking feature.

Since 1935, BD BBL prepared media products have been trusted by microbiology laboratory professionals due to a high level of quality and performance.  BD BBL™ prepared plated media enable the isolation of microorganisms from samples or specimens. Ready for immediate use, routinely available in several types of Petri-style dishes, containing a variety of media.

BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Staph aureus is a selective medium for the isolation, enumeration, and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical and food sources. The growth of mauve-colored colonies at 24 hours is considered positive for S. aureus for clinical specimens requiring no further confirmatory testing. CHROMagar Staph aureus has been validated by the AOAC™ Research Institute under the Performance Testing Methods for…

BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ MRSA II is designed for the qualitative, direct detection of nasal colonization by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

BD has combined two products to formulate the BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ MRSAII/CHROMagar™ SA Bi-plate. This product is used for the qualitative direct detection of nasal colonization by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and as a selective medium for the isolation, enumeration, and identification of S. aureus.

BD has combined two products to formulate the BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Orientation / TSA II I Plate™ for urine cultures. As today’s laboratories are challenged to do more with less, this format standardizes urine culture processing to a single catalog number. The I Plate allows for the visual identification of common urinary pathogens helping to improve turnaround time for positives.
