What does "lyophilized" mean?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The term “freeze-dry” is a lay description for the process of lyophilization. It is the conversion of water from a frozen state to a gaseous state without going through a liquid state. The freeze-dry process removes moisture from the cells of specimens while the specimens remain frozen. MicroBioLogics has uniquely developed the lyophilization process to produce microorganism preparations that are cost-effective and easy-to-use with an excellent shelf-life and dependable quality. |

How is it more efficient to use MicroBioLogics products over growing and maintaining in-house culture collections?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each MicroBioLogics product comes with a product warranty stating that each will perform satisfactorily and be free from defect if used and stored as directed. Each product comes with a built-in safety net. Imagine the time that can be reallocated by moving to a commercial product versus an in-house collection. The other advantage that makes MicroBioLogics products efficient is the “hydrate and use” feature. The LYFO DISK® and KWIK-STIK™ products require no pre-incubation or the incubation of culture media prior to use. |
