Microbiology

This Microbiology sub-section gathers the sampling and dilution consumables that do not fit a narrower heading. Food safety and environmental microbiology laboratories use them to collect surface samples and prepare dilutions before plating.

The 30 GVS listings include Polywipe sponges, individually packed 50 to a pack for swabbing larger surfaces, and Dilbot pre-filled dilution bottles. Dilbot options cover phosphate buffer with magnesium in 99 ml and Butterfield's buffer in 90 ml and 99 ml fills, supplied 72 per pack, giving a known volume for serial dilutions without in-house preparation.

Pick 90 ml or 99 ml fills to match the dilution scheme in your method, and sponges where swabs are too small for the area sampled. Lancetech Limited can quote these alongside count plates, media and Petri dishes from the wider GVS microbiology range.
