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.

The Digital Ink Rub Tester uses the Sutherland-method and is designed to measure scuffing or ink rub resistance. Several tests can be performed including dry rub (the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another), wet rub (the amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another), wet bleed or transfer (ink transfer to a water-saturated blotter), wet smear (similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles), functional rub/wet rub (smear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion).

The Liberty16 is your personal qPCR machine. Run your samples without waiting, using a beautiful device that sits neatly on your bench.

It even has a robust, stylish aluminum casing which makes it standout wherever you are.

It doesn’t even need a laptop to run. Download the powerful Ubiquitome iPhone app from the App Store. It allows you to set up your run, view the run in progress, call Cq’s dynamically and even upload your data to share in the cloud.

United’s DFM-600kN test frame is ideal for testing samples up to 600 kN. (134,800 lbf.). From basic tension and compression testing to advanced materials testing the DFM-600kN is a versatile test system used across virtually all industries.

Floor model systems are designed to sit on lab or production floors due to their increased size and weight. We offer both servo-electric floor model systems and servo-hydraulic floor model systems. For information on our servo-hydraulic systems, please return to the product menu and select one of the DHFM systems.

The automatic nucleic acids extraction instrument is a high-throughput and high-precision nucleic acid extractor used in pair with prepackaged extraction reagents based on silica-coated superparamagnetic beads to extract and purify nucleic acids from the blood, tissue, cells, body fluids, bacteria, viruses, and many other biological samples. 

FastPure Universal Plant Total RNA Isolation Kit can be used to quickly extract total RNA from plant tissues.
