Bacterial Endotoxins Test also called as Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test is in vitro assay for detection and quantization of bacterial endotoxin. The test can be performed using the gel clot technique and the kinetic turbidimetric and chromogenic (colorimetric) assays. LAL Chromogenic endotoxin assay makes the use of modified Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate and a synthetic color-producing substrate to detect endotoxin presence.

This assay is quantitative and the color intensity developed upon addition of the sample to the LAL supplied with the kit is proportional to the amount of endotoxin present in the sample and can be calculated from a standard curve. The kinetic chromogenic quantitative assay for bacterial endotoxin can be performed at the low assay range (0-5 EU/ml) or the higher range (5-50 EU/ml) depending on sponsor's request.

The assay is performed using a Molecular Devices Microplate reader controlled by a software. During the 60 minute incubation, readings are collected from all wells. The standard curve is deduced from the 241 readings and sample concentrations are calculated automatically based on the standard curve. The assay is highly sensitive.

Biological indicators (BIs) are used to monitor ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization processes for medical devices. Raven Biological Indicators are easy to use microbiological instruments that are used in various industrial or health-care use. They are also used in assisting in validating the sterilization process. We offer best quality Biological indicators to address the unique requirements of the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.

Some of the important features of the Biological indicators are:

• Used to evaluate the effectiveness of sterilization processes.
  
• Essential in performing sterilization cycle validation.
  
• Used for ethylene oxide gas, dry heat, steam and radiation sterilization processes.
  
• Available in a wide range of organisms, populations and packaging.
  
• Available as strips (standard size or mini), discs, suspensions, self-contained, ampoule's and custom configurations.

Chemical indicators are single-use consumables that support a health-care facility's quality assurance program by confirming the conditions required for sterilization have been achieved within a sterilizer. Chemical Indicators CIs come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. Typically, they are can be categorized as- external and internal.

External indicators are designed to provide the handler and user with a visual indication that the item was exposed to a specific sterilant. They are often in the form of tape, small cards, or dye spots on the exterior of medical packaging. External indicators change color when exposed to a specific sterilant and that color change provides evidence that the item was processed.

Internal indicators also provide evidence of the presence of a sterilant. However, internal indicators are placed inside each package prior to sterilization and measure the penetration of the sterilant into the pack. This measurement is designed to provide the package user with evidence that a sterilant was present inside the pack. Internal indicators can detect packaging and placement failures such as air entrapment, incorrect packaging selection and/or application, and improper loading of the sterilizer.

We specialize in offering lyophilized reference stock cultures for quality control laboratories. Ready-to-use reference stock cultures will alleviate labor-intensive processes of preparing, storing, and maintaining in-house cultures. Each lyophilized microorganism is no more than four passages from the reference culture and is authentic and traceable. Choose from more than 700 microorganism strains derived from well-known culture collections from around the world including ATCC®, NCIMB, NCTC and more.

The KWIK-STIK™ is well-known for its clever design and accurate, repeatable results. It is a self-contained unit featuring a single microorganism strain in a lyophilized pellet, a reservoir of hydrating fluid, and inoculating swab. Each KWIK-STIK™ unit has a peel-off identification label for easy documentation. KWIK-STIK™ units are available in packs of 2 or 10.

Petri plates are shallow, circular, glass or disposable plastic dish used to grow bacteria on solid media such as agar. A Petri plate test is described which can be used to screen for pathogenesis of fungi from diseased seedlings, plant roots, seeds or soil. Seedlings grown axenically on water agar are inoculated with test fungi and infection observed directly. The test method is also valuable for fungal identification as the formation of fruiting structures not normally produced on conventional media is often promoted. Sealed plates can be used for long-term storage of fungal cultures.

Autoclave wrapper is used for the elimination of all living organisms. These papers are applied to the items before they are placed into the autoclave. Autoclaveable Wrapping Papers are used in various life science and microbiological industry.
