Nowadays, companies are more and more concerned about the air quality in indoor spaces. Pharmaceutical and Personal care industries are not the only ones affected, it’s also an important issue for food & beverage, hospital, and environmental application. That is why it gets so important to use a microbial air sampler in any workspace.

If the air quality is no

The sampling process is essential for the preparation of samples in sectors such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and clinics. This process is divided into several sections, and, the first of them, is sample preparation.

The homogenization is a sample preparation process widespread in the microbiology field. Before performing an analysis, the sample is homogenized in order to obtain a liquid sample so, with this sample, the aim is

One of the unsolved environmental problems of the microbiology labs is the huge amount of Petri plates waste generation every day. Serial Dilution requires using an important number of Petri dishes, but is it possible to do otherwise if one wants to guarantee no cross-contamination while working in a modern lab?

Spiral plating, the plating method for reducing petri d

Spiral Plating is a two-in-one method that enables dilution and plating at the same time. This is an official method of the APHA, the AOAC, and recognized by the FDA BAM (Chapter 3), which main benefit is the incredible gain of time and reduction of Petri plates waste compared to traditional plating methods such as spread plate, pour plate and

If you work in a microbiology laboratory, whether in the field of environment, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and beverage, or personal care, your daily work will include colony counting. This can quickly become an exhausting task for microbiologists, as the counting process requires lots of time and concentration, without mentioning the tedious tracking process. Currently, using a digital counter or an automatic colony counter are 2 ways to improve this part, making i

Whether you are working for quality control in food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic laboratory, the sample preparation can be tedious and inaccurate. That is why it is essential to have a dilutor for any microbiological laboratory.

Gravimetric dilution, or liquid dispensing, is not only an accurate method

The need of using a homogenized solution is critical for laboratories as it is the representative sample of all the following processes. If the sample is solid or viscous and barely homogenous, it will not be possible to give all the information and will result in a lack of time or need to redo the operation ending in a waste of resources. That is why using a Ma

iPeak® is IUL’s colorimetric rapid test reader that enhances the colors of your test. With IUL’s technology, you can export and print the results and send them in real-time. In this way, it is possible to integrate the results to your laboratory information system (

Microbial air contamination monitoring is a key process in facilities with special air cleanliness needs. Air sampling is a regulated process that, with following simple steps, we can obtain an indicator of the quality of the air.
