Because microbiological research and testing has the potential to affect public health and safety through subsequent translational studies or the distribution of medications, it is essential that data is accurate and reproducible. Therefore, it is imperative that the microbiological media used undergoes rigorous quality control testing to evaluate its sterility and ability to promote growth prior to its use.
To support this need, ATCC provides a variety of microbial quality control strains for use in routine media sterility and growth promotion testing. Each strain is fully authenticated and characterized to ensure accurate identification and is handled using meticulous protocols to ensure the highest quality. Explore our collection today!
