BioMaxima SA products

BioMaxima S.A. offers high quality chromogenic media, including those for the detection of microorganisms with different mechanisms of resistance (MRSA), VRE, ESBL, KPC). Their use in screening tests is very common.

Contact plates - used for the monitoring of microbial contamination in industrial and hospital cleanroom and other healthcare environments. They are generally used for monitoring worktops, walls, floors, personel clothing and bodies by applying the agar manually or using a contact plates applicator (ref. APL416). Use of a contact method to control surfaces is recommended in the ISO standards 14698-1 (2), ISO 18593 (3), USP chapter 1116 (4) and in Good Manufacturing Practice (5,6).

Recommended especially for use in cleanrooms. Tripple wrapping allows the removal of each wrap as the plates are taken further into cleanroom

Used for the monitoring of microbial contamination in the air in the cleanrooms of pharmaceutical industries and hospitals. Can be used in dynamic air sampling with Air Sampler (APL 416) or in static sampling of ambient air. It is also suitable for personnel monitoring, e.g. gloves, hands. These culture media are easy-to-use, triple - wrapped, gamma irradiated, enabling efficient monitoring for micro-organisms during production processes.

Tests designed to determine presence of bacteria and fungi in solid, semi-solid and liquid samples. Dip-slides are intended use for the monitoring of microbial contamination in various industrial environments (hospitals, water treatment, cooling systems, production lines, food, oil and gas industry etc). Each unit is sterile, self-contained, and disposable. Dip-slides are very easy to use and easy to read. A comparison with an evaluation chart allows the user to quickly and easily read off the results, within 24-72 hours. Each unit consists of an incubation tube and two-sided paddle with the same or two different media on it. The test can be performed on-site, or the slides can be used as convenient transport media for samples.

APL 416 Contact plates applicator launched by Biomaxima is used for standardized surface sampling with the contact plates method.
