Darmstadt, Germany, April 21, 2022 – Merck, a leading science and technology company, today announced that its Life Science business sector has launched a first-of-its-kind solution that prepares and instantly dispenses culture media for use in microbiological food testing. The innovative ReadyStream® system highlights Merck’s commitment to customers by enhancing testing efficiency through innovation.
“Culture media and sample preparation is typically a time-consuming, multi-step process for food testing labs, especially for those testing in large sample volumes,” said Ian Jennings, Head of BioMonitoring, Life Science business sector, Merck. “We are transforming the way QC Labs test by allowing the instrument to do most of the work, saving lab technicians time, resources and lab space.”
With traditional microbiological food testing methods, quality control lab technicians prepare the culture media themselves or use voluminous bags of ready-to-use media. The ReadyStream® system carries several significant advantages over traditional methods including:
- On-demand availability: Up to 100 liters of ISO 11133-compliant culture media can be prepared at the touch of a button right in the lab, at the point of use.
- 10x concentrated media: Concentrated media is diluted with sterile water to dispense up to 100 L pre-heated culture media from a 10 L bag (shipped dry and reconstituted with the system).
- Enhanced time savings due to automation: Autoclaving, powder handling, washing and dealing with bottles are eliminated from the process, drastically shortening the multi-step workflow.
- Greater convenience: Removes need to handle or move heavy bags of ready-to-use culture media, freeing additional lab space.
- The ReadyStream® system, with its media preparation and dispensing units, media bags and other accessories, is now available for purchase.
