Instant Inoculator™
The microbes you need, at the cell titer you need, in one easy-to-use format.
Ready-to-use for your application in the easiest format yet.
Whether you need an isolated colony of a reference microbe or a specific CFU quantity for a microbiology procedure, the Instant Inoculator™ can deliver the microbes you need. The authentic reference microbes are coated on the end of the applicator device and can either be directly transferred to agar media, rehydrated in a solution, or directly transferred to a surface sample collection device.
Applications
