Research

Detection of metabolic activity is determined by sensitive pressure measurements relating to gaseous exchanges as a result of microbial respiration.

Within the research field there a countless opportunities where application may be found for such a broadly versatile technology.

As a simple, automated contamination detection system the technology has enormous potential, particularly when the range of possible culture media are considered.

Culture and detection of a wide range of organisms may be performed using a broad spectrum growth medium or specific organisms may be targetted using specialist or selective media.

Instruments house two disposable culture vessels therefore creating the opportunity to run both Aerobic and Anaerobic cultures simultaneously, or in the case of comparative studies, Test vs Control.

Comparitive studies may be performed utilising the paired culture vessel feature. The effects of the addition of growth factors or inhibitors can be monitored in real time vs control cultures.

Culture vessels may be used for rapid, small scale growth of target organisms.
