Microbiologics™ Shigella sonnei SS61

Description

• UV-BioTAG microorganisms contain a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) marker that produces fluorescence of the culture visible under UV light
• This allows for easy differentiation of these control strains from contaminants
• Kits include six vials or swabs, each containing one lyophilized pellet of an individual microorganism strain
• It’s not uncommon for food samples to inadvertently become contaminated with control strains used in the laboratory
• This leads to false-positive results which can have severe financial and regulatory implications
• UV-BioTAG, our line of reference strains containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) markers, make it easy to distinguish standard microorganism strains from laboratory control strains
• Optimized for highly visible fluorescence, UV-BioTAG strains provide better stability because the GFP marker is integrated into the chromosome rather than the plasmid
• With UV-BioTAG, you can quickly and reliably establish whether a positive test result can be traced back to a control strain cross-contamination issue, or if it is from another source.
