New Aztreonam-avibactam MTS
New Aztreonam-avibactam MTS™ (MIC Test Strip), AZA 0.016/4-256/ μg/mL , is a quantitative method for the in-vitro susceptibility testing of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales to Aztreonam-avibactam.
MTS™ consists of special porous paper impregnated with a pre-defined concentration gradient of an antimicrobial agent, used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μg/mL of antimicrobial agents against bacteria as tested on agar media using overnight incubation and manual reading procedures.

EnteroPluri-Test
for the identification of Gram-negative, oxidase-negative bacteria.
EnteroPluri-Test is a 12-sector system containing special culture media that permits the identification of
Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative, oxidase-negative bacteria. EnteroPluri-Test allows the simultaneous inoculation of all media present in the sectors and 15 biochemical reactions. The microorganism is identified by evaluating the colour change of the culture media after 18-24 hours of incubation at 36±1 °C and by a code number obtained with the biochemical reactions reading.

Settle plates for air monitoring
The 90 mm settle plates contain 30 mL of agar to compensate for desiccation after active sampling of 1000 litres of air and are suitable for prolonged incubation to favour the detection of microorganisms.
Settle plates are either exposed to air for a certain time or used with a microbial air sampler to physically draw a pre-determined volume of air, for detecting microbial airborne contaminations. They can also be used for personnel applications (i.e. gloves).
Settle plates are available both as gamma-irradiated, triple-enveloped for clean rooms and non-irradiated, single-enveloped for less critical environments and are conform to international standards such as EU cGMP, FDA Aseptic Guidance and USP 34.
The 30 mL settle plates are available as Tryptic Soy agar (TSA), w/ or w/o Penase or Lactamator in various concentrations and Sabouraud Dextrose agar (SDA). They are supplemented with neutralizers such as lecithin (L), tween 80 (T), histidine (H) and sodium thiosulfate (Th) for inactivating a wide range of disinfectants. Paperless and secure identification of individual plates is granted by the 2D Data matrix barcode on each plate.

Rapid Y/M Agar
Selective medium for enumeration of yeasts and molds
Rapid Y/M Agar is a medium used for selective isolation and enumeration of yeasts and molds from food, animal feeding stuff, water and environmental samples. The medium formulation allows accelerating detection compared to other media commonly recommended for the cultivation of yeasts and molds . Unlike DRBC and DG18, which are used for high (ISO 21527-1) and low (ISO 21527-2) water activity products, respectively, Y/M Agar can be used with samples regardless of their water activity.

Quality Control applications
CultiControl
Freeze-dried microorganisms
CultiControl microorganisms are lyophilized, reference stock culture preparations containing a single strain of a microorganism. These microorganism preparations are intended to be used for
quality control of cultural media, educational/instructional programs and industrial applications.
The microorganism preparations are derived from ATCC® (American Type Culture Collection) or NCTC® (National Collection of Type Cultures, operated by the UK Health Security Agency).

RPMI Agar
for antifungal susceptibility testing
RPMI Agar (RPMI1640, MOPS, L-glutamine, 2% Glucose) is intended for the AFST (antifungal susceptibility testing) and is recommended for usage with Antifungal MTS™ (MIC Test Strip).
Pick 4-5 colonies from 24-hours old cultures and suspend them in saline solution or sterile water in order to obtain a 0.5 McFarland cell density.
Introduce a sterile swab into the suspension and inoculate the RPMI Agar plate.
Allow the plate to dry, and position the antifungal strip onto the agar surface with the maximum concentration nearest the periphery of the plate.
Incubate at 35 °C for 24-48 hours.
Read the M.I.C. value where the edge of the inhibition ellipse intersects the strip (the intersection between two scale segments should be round up to the higher value).
