Diagnostic Media

Sheffield Bio-Science started producing casein hydrolysates for use in laboratory media in 1940. Since then, many of our high quality peptones have been used in clinical diagnostics and quality control media formulations.

In 2004 we expanded our capabilities with the introduction of a fully equipped diagnostic application laboratory, located in Amsterdam (Almere), The Netherlands. The application lab enables us to specifically select and optimize peptones, yeast extracts and combinations for specific media applications (general purpose, chromogenic and blood agar media) and allows us to optimize new products before we start commercializing them. 

Advantages  

  • High degree of clarity for accurate colony identification  
  • Minimal color contribution to medium  
  • High solubility  
  • Heat stable during autoclaving  
  • Lot-to-Lot consistency
