Industry Products tips are made of virgin polypropylene and the filters are polyethylene. Single tray packages, wrapped in air-tight plastic are electron beam sterilized with the tip size ID printed on the sterilization indicator. Biohit Filter Tips are certified as DNase, RNase and endotoxin free. They are CE/IVD certified and are manufactured according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 13485. Biohit Inc. 732.922.4900 Neptune NJ www.us.biohit.com ferment the carbohydrate 2-deoxyD-ribose) can easily be distinguished from Salmonella serotypes by their colorless, green, greenish blue, blue-green or blue colored colonies due to their β-galactosidase activity on the chromogenic sub-strate 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl-β-Dgalactopyranoside. The Salmonella serotypes are identified only by their reddish-pink colored colonies fermenting 2-deoxy-D-ribose without β-galactosidase activity in the presence of the pH indicator neutral red. By eliminating or reducing many interfering bacteria found in foods such as meats and produce, the Salmonella (Nontyphoidal) Chromogenic Plating Medium allows for better growth and easier colonial identification of the Salmonella serotypes. Our company also offers a wide range of chromogenic plating media to isolate various types of pathogens found in foods and the environment. R & F Laboratories/products 630.969.5300 Downers Grove, IL www.rf-labs.com Biohit Inc. New Filter Tips from Biohit iohit has introduced a new line of Filter Tips which are an ideal tool for any scientist concerned about sample integrity, safety, and minimizing contamination risks. They can be used in applications including molecular biology, microbiology and cell culture, as well as radioactive work. These Filter Tips have been designed to meet high quality and purity demands and provide an effective barrier between the pipette and the sample. The higher filter positioning in the new models prevents the liquid sample from touching the filterenabling safer pipetting in reverse and multi-dispensing modes. The Filter Tips cover the volume range from 0.1–1200 µl including new sizes for 10, 20, 100/120, 200, 300, 1000 and 1200 µl volume capacities. This wide selection offers optimal tip compatibility with Biohit Pipettes. They are packed in colorcoded single tray boxes. Biohit Filter Tips reduce the risk of contamination to the pipette; liquid samples and the operator. The B R & F Laboratories/ products Develops a New Salmonella (Nontyphoidal) Chromogenic plating Medium & F Laboratories/Products announces a newly developed Salmonella (Nontyphoidal) Chromogenic Plating Medium. This new Salmonella medium utilizes the same patented (US Patent 7,150,977) mechanism for identifying Salmonella strains as our current Salmonella (includes S. Typhi/Paratyphi) Chromogenic Plating Medium but is more selective and better suited for identifying Salmonella serotypes from foods and the environment. The Salmonella (Nontyphoidal) Chromogenic Plating Medium with increased antibiotics and additional selective ingredients will eliminate additional bacteria such as Proteus, Pseudomonas, Morganella and Pantoea that could interfere with Salmonella isolation from foods. About 20% of the Citrobacter and Klebsiella strains have been eliminated or the colony sizes reduced to partial growth. Any growth of Citrobacter and Escherichia coli strains (which may R Charm Sciences Receives USDA GIpSA Approval for Its ROSA® Fumonisin Quantitative Test Kit for Feed and Grain harm Sciences, Inc. is pleased to announce that its ROSA Fumonisin Quantitative test kit is the first lateral flow quantitative test to be approved for official testing of fumonisin in the US national grain inspection system (Certificate No. FGIS 2009-102).
