Clostridium perfringens media
22 September, 2009 | Micromedia Laboratories
The anaerobic microorganism Clostridium perfringens is well known as a cause of food poisoning, with cooked meats and gravy presenting some of the greatest risks. Heat-resistant spores can survive cooking processes, germinating when food is subsequently held at ambient temperature. Improper cooling and reheating may then result in multiplication of the bacteria to levels high enough to cause illness when ingested, with clinical symptoms resulting from the action of an endotoxin produced in the gut.
DLReady certified microplate reader
22 September, 2009 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
BioTek Instruments’ Synergy Mx Monochromator-based Microplate Reader has been DLReady certified for dual-luciferase assays. This certification establishes the Synergy Mx as meeting the performance levels and standards for Promega’s Dual-Luciferase Reporter (DLR) Assay System - a widely used luminescence-based assay for measuring gene transcription and control in microplate format.
