Microbiology Research and Reference Materials

Microbiology reference materials help with the assessment of microorganisms in environmental samples, as well as aiding us in assessing potential risks to health, monitoring pollution levels and understanding ecological interactions. These microorganisms are typically assessed through culturing, DNA sequencing and molecular methods. Some of the most important types of bacteria to test for include pathogenic bacteria which can cause diseases in humans and other organisms, indicator bacteria used as indicators of water or potential contamination, and biodegradation bacteria capable of breaking down and metabolising contaminants such as hydrocarbons and pesticides.

We offer a wide range of microbiology reference materials including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella, Listeria, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus, Cronobacter and many more. Browse our portfolio below.
