ReadyNow™ Biofilm Test Carrier

ReadyNow™ Biofilm Test Carriers by Stratix Labs™ are a simple way to conduct anti-biofilm testing. These are pre-grown, ready-to-use biofilm carriers for disinfectant efficacy testing using Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus. The carriers are stable at 4°C for more than twelve (12) months. Twenty-four (24) biofilm test carriers are included in each kit, resembling a full CDC Biofilm Reactor® sample run.
These test carriers are available as a preliminary tool to help assess your liquid disinfectant formulations before launching full biofilm reactor studies using one of our many reactors currently available.

Product Description

Product Description

Reducing prep work and setting a new level of standardization.
Pre-grown, preserved biofilms with the requisite cell counts for the EPA MB-20 and ASTM 2871 Single Tube Method. With ReadyNow™, you eliminate the need to spend valuable time preparing test samples, and eliminate the uncertainty associated with consistently hitting your cell count targets.
All ReadyNow™ Biofilm Test Carriers are manufactured using authentic, high quality ATCC® microorganisms. They can be conveniently stored between 2ºC to 8ºC for more than a year and comes with a Certificate of Analysis detailing the mean colony forming units for each batch produced-improving your ability to standardize your testing.
ReadyNow™ Biofilm Test Carriers are not currently approved by ASTM or the EPA for product validation and should be used as a tool for preliminary testing only.

Features

• Can be utilized to evaluate biofilm kill or biofilm removal efficacy of disinfectants.
• Recoverable cell counts can be assayed with CFU enumeration or using stains (e.g., crystal violet stain).
• Eliminates uncertainty associated with producing inoculated carriers in-spec; each product comes with a Certificate of Analysis detailing mean CFU count for that batch.
• Simply rehydrate for 20 minutes and you’re ready to conduct your assay.
• Stable for >1 year from manufacture date when stored between 2°C to 8°C.
