QC microorganisms with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) markers
It’s not uncommon for food samples to inadvertently become contaminated with control strains used in the laboratory. This leads to false-positive results which can have severe financial and regulatory implications. UV-BioTAG, our line of reference strains containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) markers, make it easy to distinguish standard microorganism strains from laboratory control strains. Optimised for highly visible fluorescence, UV-BioTAG strains provide better stability because the GFP marker is integrated into the chromosome rather than the plasmid. With UV-BioTAG, you can quickly and reliably establish whether a positive test result can be traced back to a control strain cross-contamination issue, or if it is from another source.

Quantitative spore-forming QC microorganisms for spoilage detection methods Introducing EZ-SPORE, from Microbiologics®. Spore-forming pathogens can present unique challenges for food laboratories that are conducting tests to detect these contaminants. That’s why food microbiology labs across the globe rely on EZ-SPORE quantitative microorganism preparations for validating their spoilage detection methods or for disinfectant qualification studies. EZ-SPORE preparations provide a concentration of 104 CFU per pellet, making microbiological challenge testing for spore-formers quicker and easier. Applications & Test Methods
