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.

Rappaport Vassiliadis R10 Broth - 500 g

£58.94 vat excl.

£70.73 vat Inc.
Availability: Out of stock
Rappaport Vassiliadis R10 Broth is used for the selective enrichment of Salmonella spp. from foods in a laboratory setting. Rappaport Vassiliadis R10 Broth is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Rappaport et al formulated an enrichment medium for Salmonella spp. that was modified by Vassiliadis et al. The Rappaport formulation, designated R 25/37°C, recommended incubation at 37°C. The Vassiliadis modification, designated R 10/43°C, had a reduced level of Malachite Green and recommended incubation at 43°C. Peterz later showed that incubation at 41.5 ± 0.5°C for 24 hours improved recovery of Salmonella spp. Rappaport-Vassiliadis R10 Broth is a selective enrichment medium that is used following pre-enrichment of the specimen. It has gained approval for use in analyzing milk and milk products, raw flesh foods, highly contaminated foods, and animal feeds. This medium selectively enriches for Salmonella spp. because bacteria, including other intestinal bacteria, are typically susceptible to or inhibited by Malachite Green, high osmotic pressure and/or low pH. S. typhi and S. choleraesuis are sensitive to Malachite Green and may be inhibited.

Mueller Hinton Agar II

Availability: Out of stock
Mueller Hinton Agar II is used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing by the disk diffusion method. This formula conforms to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI), formerly National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). Mueller Hinton Agar II is based on the formula recommended by Mueller and Hinton for the primary isolation of Neisseria species. Mueller and Hinton selected pea meal extract agar as a simple transparent medium containing heat stable ingredients. During their modification, starch replaced the growth-promoting properties of pea extract, acting as a “protective colloid” against toxic substances. Bauer, Kirby, Sherris and Tuck recommended Mueller Hinton Agar for performing antibiotic susceptibility tests using a single disk of high concentration. This un-supplemented medium has been selected by the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) for several reasons. This medium is low in sulfonamide, trimethoprim and tetracycline inhibitors, and provides satisfactory growth of most non-fastidious pathogens along with demonstrating batch-to-batch reproducibility. Mueller Hinton Agar is often abbreviated as M-H Agar and complies with requirements of the World Health Organization. Mueller Hinton Agar is specified in FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual for food testing, and procedures commonly performed on aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria. A variety of supplements can be added to Mueller Hinton Agar, including 5% defibrinated sheep or horse blood, 1% growth supplement and 2% sodium chloride.

The use of Neutralising Buffer is advised for surface testing for the presence of microorganisms that may occur on dairy and food equipment disinfected with chlorine or quaternary ammonium compounds. It is capable of inactivating the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect of chlorine and quaternary ammonium composites. Neutralising these chemicals is crucial in accurately detecting the presence of potentially harmful microorganisms. Using Neutralising Buffer in the microbiological examination of surfaces in standard methods to test dairy products and foods.

£746.02 vat Inc.
Availability: Out of stock
MacConkey Agar without Crystal Violet is used for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. A selective medium for the isolation of bile tolerant organisms from sewage and foodstuffs. Bile-tolerant Gram positive organisms as well as Gram negative organisms will grow on this medium. This formula is recommended by W.H.O. and other bodies for the examination of water and milk. Some strains of Proteus spp. will spread on this medium making interpretation difficult, for this reason MacConkey Agar (without salt) may be preferred as it is less prone to this phenomenon.

APT Agar - 500 g

£105.27 vat excl.

£126.32 vat Inc.
Availability: Out of stock
APT Agar is used for the cultivation of heterofermentative lactobacilli in a laboratory setting. APT Agar is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Evans and Niven investigated the cultivation of heterofermentative lactobacilli, causing the faded or green discoloration of cured meat products. Deibel, Evans, and Niven tested thiamine-requiring bacteria, specifically Lactobacillus viridescens. Their formulations led to the development of APT Agar. Lactic acid bacteria, a group of acid-producing bacteria, include the genera Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, and Lactobacillus. These organisms are widespread in nature, associated with bacterial spoilage of foods including dairy products, meat, and vegetables. APT Agar is used for cultivating heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria from food products.

Availability: Out of stock
DNase Agar is used for the differentiation of microorganisms on the basis of deoxyribonuclease activity and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. In 1956, Weckman and Catlin showed a correlation between increased DNase activity of Staphylococcus aureus and positive coagulase activity. Their research suggested DNase activity could be used to identify potentially pathogenic staphylococci. DiSalvo confirmed their results by obtaining excellent correlation between coagulase and DNase activity of staphylococci isolated from clinical specimens. Jeffries, Holtman, and Guse incorporated DNA in agar to study DNase production by bacteria and fungi. Polymerized DNA precipitates in the presence of 1N HCl, creating an opaque medium. Organisms that degrade DNA produce a clear zone around an inoculum streak. Fusillo and Weiss studied calcium requirements of staphylococci for DNase production, and concluded additional calcium was unnecessary when a complete nutritive medium was used.
