Prepare when convenient: just fill with deionized water, break the seal and mix, for media that’s ready to dispense in under 10 minutes. Reduce waste and increase your confidence of quality with a rehydrated, in use shelf-life of 10 days and certification provided by an ISO/IEC17025 accredited QC laboratory.

Fast, Confident PCR Pathogen Detection To Help Protect Your Business’s Brand

Detect foodborne pathogens, and other important food safety and quality targets, quickly and accurately. Empower your operations with rapid reporting to enable faster product release and interventions. Our food safety PCR assays offer qualitative detection of the major pathogens (Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli O157:H7, Cronobacter spp.) and other important targets in food and environmental samples. These PCR food testing solutions are optimized, and in many cases externally validated, for use with our Applied Biosystemsâ„¢ QuantStudioâ„¢ 5 Food Safety Real-Time PCR Instrument on a broad range of food and environmental matrices.

To facilitate operational efficiency in food microbiology laboratories, a new range of bagged enrichment media is designed to reduce hands-on preparation time.

The bags contain pre-weighed, ready-to-hydrate, gamma-irradiated enrichment media which eliminates the need for further sterilization. The new Bagged Media are available in a choice of formats and volumes to meet a variety of sample preparation and testing volume needs.

For added convenience and to further reduce risk of contamination, the Thermo Scientific QuickBag Enrichment Media are supplied with water pre-filled. All that is required for preparation is to break the dividing seal and mix.

“The QuickBag and FitBag Media Formats are a response to customers who already appreciate the benefits of our large volume Thermo Scientific Dry-Bags Enrichment Media,” says Mark Truesdale, senior director, food safety solutions, microbiology, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “By offering these convenient formats in lower volumes, food microbiology laboratories of all sizes can avoid the time-consuming weighing and autoclaving steps, and alleviate the bottlenecks associated with traditional media preparation.”

The QuickBag and FitBag Media Formats are available in a choice of volumes: 2.7, 4.5 and 9 liters.

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a broad selection of high-quality culture media for food and water applications. Our base culture media, supplements and ready-prepared plates and convenience format media are tested for quality and performance before, during, and after manufacturing to make sure the finished product meets the food microbiology laboratory’s testing needs.
