Innovotech™ MBEC Assay® Biofilm Inoculator with 96 Well Base (UK) Lab - 19112
*** Manufacturer Guarantee EXPIRED OCTOBER 2019 ***
Description
The MBEC Assay® is a high throughput screening assay used to determine the efficacy of antimicrobials against biofilms of a variety of microorganisms. The 96 peg base has separate wells which allow you to test different strains in different wells.
The MBEC Assay® Biofilm Inoculator with 96 well bases is recommended for most customers. It is useful for many commonly used bacterial species such Acinetobacter spp., Escherichia spp., Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus spp., some streptococcus spp., Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Salmonella spp., and Enterobacter spp.
- Coating pegs with hydroxyapatite facilitates biofilm growth by fastidious microorganisms such as Candida sp. This has proven to be beneficial when studying bone or dental biocides.
- Antibiotic, biocide, disinfectant and heavy metal susceptibility testing of biofilms to determine a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), a minimum biocidal concentration (MBC) and a minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC)
- Basic research in the physiology and genetics of biofilms (such as screening to identify mutants impaired in their ability to form biofilms)
- Comparative biofilm growth assays of up to 96 different isolates under identical culture conditions
- Comparative studies of gene expression in multiple isolates or mutants
- Selection criteria applied against biofilm microorganisms
- Checkerboard assays to identify synergistic interactions between antimicrobials used to treat biofilms
- Time course studies of biofilm formation or treatment in a single assay, since the pegs are designed to be easily removed from the peg lid
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to examine biofilm structure
- Many conventional assays for attachment, growth, survival, or metabolic activity to measure the parameters of interest to the researcher. These can be done while the biofilm is intact on the peg or following sonication to again produce a planktonic population.
