Certified Reference Materials ISO:17034

Benefits of Reference GFP Strains as Positive Control Strains

By choosing positive control organisms that are easily distinguishable from sample isolates, e.g., genetically modified control strains (GFP), you can easily confirm a positive result versus a cross-contamination.

Ready-to-use format allows a precise level of inoculum which does not require any culture minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Requirement for Genetically Modified Strains (GMM)

BIOBALL^® LUMINATE 2.0 may require an application for use and handling approval from the competent authority of the country/state. For more details, contact your local bioMérieux representative.

Pharma Applications

Data Integrity Begins With Reliable, Repeatable Testing

The precise number of viable cells contained within each BIOBALL^® leads to lower standard deviation and higher recovery rates compared to serial dilution — improving both accuracy and precision in quantitative microbiological quality control.
