EZ-Accu Shot™ Select

Make USP growth promotion testing simpler, without cutting corners. EZ-Accu Shot™ Select kits give you the compendial strains you need for USP <60>, <61>, and <62>, in one convenient package.

Each kit includes one lyophilized microorganism pellet per strain (in individual vials) plus Hydration Fluid. Pellets are quantitated to deliver 10 to 100 CFU per inoculum, so there's no serial dilution needed. Once rehydrated, pellets stay stable for up to 8 hours, giving you flexibility to run testing on your schedule.

No maintenance. No freezing. Just reliable compendial strains that are only three passages from the reference culture, supporting Pharmacopoeia expectations.

The six compendial strains featured are:

• Escherichia coli ATCC® 8739™
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC® 9027™
• Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 6538™
• Candida albicans ATCC® 10231™
• Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC® 16404™
• Bacillus subtilis ATCC® 6633™

The SphereFlash® is an Automatic Colony Counter that meets all the requirements of modern microbiology laboratories while increasing their throughput. SphereFlash® is a one-size-fits-all solution that reads automatically different types of plates with the same instrument.

Reflection-free illumination

The lighting is done through LEDs oriented to the internal wall of a moving spheric chamber and comes from above and/or below the chamber. The result is an unprecedented uniform and reflection-free illumination in both colonies and petri plates. The moving sphere automatically closes the chamber and prevents the area from any external light.

Main benefits:

• Automatic reading of different plate types
• Uniform, reflection-free illumination
• Moving sphere chamber blocks external light
• Increases laboratory throughput
• Meets modern microbiology requirements
