Microbiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

IPTG (Isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside) is an inducer of the lac operon and is frequently used in conjunction with X-GAL to determine the lac phenotype of recombinant plasmids or phage. IPTG is also used to induce the expression of cloned genes that are under control of the lac operon.
X-GAL (5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3 Indolyl-Beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside) is a chromogenic substrate for Beta-galactosidase that turns blue upon hydrolysis and is regularly used for the blue/white color selection assay. Bacteria with a lac+ phenotype grow as blue colonies on plates containing X-GAL.
The Reveal for Salmonella test system provides for the rapid recovery of Salmonella in food and animal feed, allowing detection and presumptive identification of the test organism within 21 hours.

The LAMBDA MINIFOR bench-top laboratory fermenter and bioreactor was developed as a result of the need to construct a small laboratory fermentor for volumes from 35 ml to 6.5 liters. Based on long personal practical experience of fermentations we wanted to create a fermentor, which was easy to use and with the capacity to measure and control all the important parameters of the biological culture. The fermentor had to take up m…
