The media that Gem Scientific use is designed to not only provide you with the most accurate results but visually distinctive dependent on the product type and the level of bacteria found at the original testing location

Within each box of Gem Scientific dip slides is a handy comparison chart to demonstrate what level of contamination the tested area has. This is measured by the coverage of the media by the bacteria recovered from the sample or area tested. Regular testing is recommended to ensure your regimes are being maintained and bacteria levels are as low as possible.

Storage

Store in a cool dry place (Optimum 8-15oC) and use before the expiry date on the box. Do not use slides if there is any sign of growth before opening. Slides remain usable while the agar is smooth and attached to the slide. A small amount of water may collect at the bottom of the tube. This is condensate from the agar and does not affect performance, provided the agar still fills the tray.

Disposal

Used slides should be incinerated, autoclaved or soaked in disinfectant for several hours before disposal.

Bacillus cereus Agar Base (PEMBA) - 500 g

£94.52 vat excl.

£113.42 vat Inc.

Availability: Out of stock
Bacillus Cereus Agar Base is used with Polymyxin B and Egg Yolk Emulsion for the isolation and presumptive identification of Bacillus cereus and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of human disease. Holbrook and Anderson described a highly selective and diagnostic medium (PEMBA) for the isolation and determination of Bacillus cereus from food. The medium is formulated to detect small numbers of B. cereus in the presence of large number of contaminants. This medium differentiates B. cereus from other bacteria based on resistance to polymyxin, lack of mannitol fermentation, and presence of lecithinase. B. cereus can be found on vegetables, processed foods, and in nature. B. cereus causes gastrointestinal illness if the organism is allowed to proliferate. Outbreaks of foodborne illness have been associated with boiled and cooked rice, cooked meats, and cooked vegetables.

Letheen Agar Base Modified (without Tween) is used with Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) for the isolation of microorganisms from cosmetics in a laboratory setting. Letheen Agar Base Modified is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. In 1948, Weber and Black described the value of a highly nutritional solid medium containing neutralizing agents for quaternary ammonium compounds in sanitisers. The addition of Lecithin and Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) to Tryptone Glucose Extract (TGE) Agar resulted in a medium that effectively neutralizes quaternary ammonium compounds in testing of germicidal activity. Total neutralization of disinfectants is critical. Disinfectant residues can result in a false negative (no-growth) test. Letheen Agar Base Modified is based on the formula described in FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual, and a modification of Letheen Agar Base. Letheen Agar Base Modified is recommended by the FDA for use in the microbiological testing of cosmetics.

Skim Milk - Agglomerated NFDM - 500 g

£41.53 vat excl.

£49.84 vat Inc.

Availability: Out of stock
Skim Milk, Agglomerated NFDM is dehydrated skim milk for use in preparing microbiological culture media in a laboratory setting. Skim Milk, Agglomerated NFDM is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Skim Milk, Agglomerated NFDM is soluble, spray-dried skim milk. When prepared in a 10% solution, it is equivalent to fresh skim milk. Skim Milk is added to enhance growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium diphtheria in culture media. Skim Milk, Agglomerated NFDM is used for differentiating organisms based on coagulation and proteolysis of casein in foods and dairy products. Indicators of pH, Litmus and Bromocresol Purple, are used with Skim Milk, Agglomerated NFDM to determine acid production. Methylene Blue and Resazurin may be used with Skim Milk, Agglomerated NFDM as oxidation-reduction indicators.

Dextrose Tryptone Agar

£860.15 vat excl.

£1,032.18 vat Inc.

Availability: Out of stock
Dextrose Tryptone Agar is used for isolation of mesophilic or thermophilic spoilage microorganisms from food and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Dextrose Tryptone Agar evolved from research by Williams, while studying the cultivation and enumeration of thermophilic bacteria caused by “flat-sour” spoilage of canned foods. In the 1930’s, the National Canners Association specified the use of Dextrose Tryptone Agar for isolating “flat sour” organisms from food products. “Flat sour” spoilage of canned foods is caused by Bacillus coagulans (Bacillus thermoacidurans). Bacterial growth results in a 0.3 – 0.5 drop in pH, while ends of the can remain flat. B. coagulans is a soil microorganism, found in canned tomato products and dairy products. Conditions favorable for organism growth can result in spoilage of food products. Dextrose Tryptone Agar can be used to isolate other food spoilage bacteria including mesophilic, aerobic spore-formers and thermophilic “flat sour” spore-formers such as B. stearothermophilus.

Bile Aesculin Agar

£1,832.00 vat excl.

£2,198.40 vat Inc.

Availability: Out of stock
Bile Esculin Agar is used for the selective isolation and differentiation of group D streptococci from foods and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Bile Esculin Agar is based on the formulation described by Swan and further evaluated by Facklam and Moody. Rochaix first noted the value of esculin hydrolysis in the identification of enterococcci. Meyer and Schonfeld added bile to the esculin medium and demonstrated 61 of 62 enterococci strains were able to grow and hydrolyze esculin, while other streptococci could not. Molecular taxonomic studies of the genus Streptococcus have placed enterococci, previously described as group D streptococci, in the genus Enterococcus. The ability to hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile is a characteristic of enterococci and group D streptococci. Swan compared the use of an esculin medium containing 40% bile salts with the Lancefield serological method of grouping, and reported that a positive reaction on the bile esculin medium correlated with a serological group D precipitin reaction. Facklam and Moody found that the bile esculin test provided a reliable means of identifying group D streptococci and differentiating them from non-group D streptococci.

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (with Lecithin & Tween) is used for the isolation of fungi from surfaces sanitised with quaternary ammonium compounds in a laboratory setting. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (with Lecithin & Tween) is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a modification of Dextrose Agar described by Sabouraud. SDA is used for cultivating pathogenic and commensal fungi and yeasts. The high dextrose concentration and acidic pH of the formula permits selectivity of fungi. The addition of Lecithin and Tween to Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is used to neutralize antiseptics and disinfectants for environmental monitoring and other applications. Complete neutralization of disinfectants is important. Disinfectant carryover can cause false no-growth test results.
