Ready-to-use Millipore media solve numerous problems in microbiology laboratories where time, equipment and trained personnel are often in short supply. Millipore media are available in convenient, single test 2 mL plastic ampoules, eliminating the manipulation of glass ampoules and avoiding the waste and spoilage associated with bulk packaged media. Manufacturing and testing of ampouled media is conducted in strict accordance with precise quality control procedures to ensure optimal growth and maximum shelf life. Reagent grade water is used to clean glassware and make media. Other factors that affect media stability and performance, such as finished product pH, entrained gases, light exposure and temperature are carefully analyzed and controlled during the manufacturing process.
Millipore Media: Standards for Reliability and Simplicity
- Nutrient media developed specifically for culturing microorganisms on membrane filters
- Selective media forms to match organism type and analytical test needs
- Precise quality control procedures during ampouled media manufacture and testing ensure optimal growth and maximum shelf life
- m-FC medium is manufactured for use in the bacteriological analysis of potable waters in accordance with procedures referenced in Standard Methods (recent edition) and laboratory standards for equipment and materials set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
- Dehydrated media in pads are also available
