The labelling of small-volume bottles in the Oxoid prepared media range of broths and diluents has been enhanced for ease of use.
The labelling of small-volume bottles in the Oxoid prepared media range of broths and diluents has been enhanced for ease of use.
Because the label takes up most of the bottle surface area, opaque labels can obscure the contents, which makes it difficult to gauge the volume of media that is contained, says the company.
To solve this problem the labelling information is printed onto a clear background material that allows users to see the contents without uncapping the product.
Oxoid prepared media comes in a variety of formats and fill volumes, and are ideal for the recovery, enrichment, growth and enumeration of micro-organisms.
Manufactured under controlled conditions in BS EN ISO 9001:2000 registered and ISO 13485 accredited production facilities, with quality control certificates for each lot, these ready-made products eliminate the need for time-consuming media preparation within the laboratory, thus freeing up staff for other more important tasks, says Oxoid.
The company's prepared media are now chosen by clinical, food, water, pharmaceutical and research laboratories worldwide.
