Characteristics
- Quality controlled reagents: Strains, S9, media, positive controls - no inhouse quality control, no sterility control necessary
- Certificate of Analysis is provided
- Excel Calculation Sheet to support data interpretation
- Number of tests corresponds to 5 x 480 agar plates.
- Standardized procedure
- Enough material to process strains individually
- Shipped at room temperature from external storage in Germany or from Switzerland
- High sensitivity and excellent correlation with agar plate test (see referenced publications)
- 4 times less test compound as compared to the agar plate test
- Less hands-on-time and simultaneous processing of several replicates
