Microbiologics has confirmed that its EZ-CFU one-step product line will perform to its specifications for up to eight hours after hydration, if the suspension is refrigerated between use.
Previously, the product, designed specifically for pharmaceutical QC laboratories performing growth promotion tests, had to be used within 30 minutes of hydration.
EZ-CFU one-step lyophilised micro-organism preparations are manufactured to deliver less than 100 colony forming units (CFU) per 0.1mL of hydrated suspension, which meets the requirements for growth promotion testing of media under the USP Guidelines (USP 32 Chapter <61>).
Microbiologics manufactures EZ-CFU one-step in nearly 40 different micro-organism strains, all derived from well-known culture collections including ATCC, NCTC and NCIMB.
