Microbiologics has unveiled EZ-Accu Shot Select, an extension of the EZ-Accu Shot product brand.
EZ-Accu Shot Select offers all the same features and benefits as the original EZ-Accu Shot, but will include five compendial microorganism strains for growth-promotion testing in one package.
Microbiologics manufactures a variety of biological reference materials that are used for quality-control testing worldwide.
EZ-Accu Shot Select is packaged as a kit containing five quality-control strains required by the Pharmacopeias for growth-promotion testing, all of which are derived from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
The strains included are Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404, Bacillus subtilis subsp spizizenii ATCC 6633, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and Staphylococcus aureus subsp aureus ATCC 6538.
Each strain comes in the form of a quantitative, instant-dissolving lyophilised pellet.
As required by the Pharmacopeias, EZ-Accu Shot Select microorganisms deliver less than 100 colony forming units (CFU).
For added convenience, the EZ-Accu Shot Select kit also contains hydration fluid and individual peel-off information labels for each strain.
