Innovative & Optimized Culture Media
The BACT/ALERT® Culture Media Bottles, used in conjunction with BACT/ALERT® 3D or BACT/ALERT® VIRTUO®, offer advantages across every dimension of microbial testing.
From the polycarbonate bottle for user safety and unique barcode for traceability, to the optimized media formulation, every laboratory can efficiently perform microbial detection to ensure consumer and patient safety.
Main Benefits
- Ready-to-use media bottles minimize handling and contamination
- Optimized formulation to ensure robust growth of bacteria, molds, and yeasts
- Compatible for isolator use
Features
- Unique identification barcode to ensure traceability
- Compatible with any BACT/ALERT® instrument
- Enhanced antimicrobial neutralization for challenging matrices
BACT/ALERT® Culture Media Bottles provide testing simplicity and confidence in results. Metabolic activity of microorganisms is detected using our patented colorimetric technology. Growing bacteria and fungi produce carbon dioxide that diffuses through the broth to the sensor located at the bottom in the bottle, whose color changes as a result of pH drop.
