Microbial culture is a basic and diagnostic method widely used as a research tool in molecular biology. Bacterial culture is a method that allows bacterial cells to proliferate in or on a medium under controlled laboratory conditions. The process of microbial culture mainly includes sampling, inoculation, separation and purification, microbial culture and strain storage. Show More......
Microbial Sampling
Microbial cultures are often used to determine the type of organism, the abundance in the tested sample, or both. Every microbial culture laboratory needs a large number of accessories for cell and bacterial culture. We offer Straight Containers with Screw Cap and Containers with Hinged Cap for environmental and water testing, food and beverage testing, pharmaceutical quality control and life sciences.
Microbial Inoculation
The process of attaching a microorganism to an artificial medium or living organism suitable for its growth and reproduction is called inoculation.
The most commonly used inoculation tools in the laboratory are inoculation ring needle. We provide different specifications of inoculation loops for different inoculation requirements or methods, the tip of the inoculation needle is made into different shapes, including knife shape, rake shape, etc. Applicators and cotton buds is also available at STEMart to evenly coat the bacterial solution on the surface of the solid medium.
Microbial Separation and Purification
In the identification of strains, the microorganisms used are generally required to be pure cultures. The process of obtaining pure culture is called separation and purification. There are many methods, and one of the essential equipment is Petri dishes. We offer a variety of Petri dishes and accessories for customers to choose from.
Microbial Culture
According to whether oxygen is needed during culture, medium morphology and culture volume, we provide a variety of culture vials (culture flask and tubes, culture and nutrient media bottles for cultural media preparation and storage) and microbiology bottle (PC storage Bottles, PET storage bottles, plastic wash bottles, polystyrene roller bottle, water sampling bottles).
Strain Storage
We provide plates and storage tubes, sealing films for strain storage.
The preservation of strains often adopts measures such as drying, low temperature and air isolation to limit their metabolism to the lowest range, so that their life activities are in a semi permanent dormant state, so that the strains can survive, do not pollute miscellaneous bacteria, do not or rarely mutate, and preserve the original biological properties of the strains.
The commonly used methods of strain preservation include inclined plane or semi-solid passage preservation, freeze vacuum drying and liquid nitrogen ultra-low temperature preservation. Other methods include carrier preservation and suspension preservation.
