Lab M has launched the Pinnacle brand of pre-poured plates.
Pinnacle brings together the company’s experience in the development, manufacture and supply of dehydrated culture media (DCM) with the expanded plate pouring capabilities at the company’s new UK headquarters.
The result is a range of high quality DCM prepared ready-to-use plates produced under a stringent quality management system in a GMP environment.
“Our move to new premises in 2012 gave us greatly expanded cleanroom facilities and significantly enhanced plate pouring capacity, all operating within a strictly controlled GMP environment. Pinnacle is the result,” said Ian Morris, Lab M’s managing director.
The first products in the Pinnacle range are focused on food industry applications. Listeria Chromogenic Agar for the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes and Tryptone Bile Glucuronide Agar for the isolation of Escherichia coli will be closely followed by CSIM for the isolation of Cronobacter sakazakii from milk and milk products and chromogenic ABC medium for the isolation of Salmonellae.
Also joining the range is PINNACLE mLGA, a selective chromogenic medium for the simultaneous enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms in drinking water.
