By using BD RODAC™ plates, microbial contamination of the working environment, such as the surfaces of instruments and equipment, can be easily monitored. The RODAC method is the most widely adopted method internationally. Furthermore, the various media used in BD BBL BD RODAC™ plates comply with the composition standards of the American Public Health Association (APHA) and are strictly quality controlled. By using this highly reliable BD RODAC™ plate agar for environmental and food hygiene assessments, high testing accuracy can be expected.

- Efficient detection of surface-adhering bacteria and measurement of bacterial counts is possible. - The larger cap makes it easy to hold even while wearing gloves. - The soft plastic makes it easy to squeeze cotton balls. Raspa Check is a swab used for "wiping tests" conducted in food and medical settings. Wiping tests can capture surface adherences in environments without being limited by curved or uneven surfaces. Using the swab, surfaces of cutting boards, hands, food ingredients, medical instruments, and medical equipment are wiped, and through the dilution method and streaking method, detection of surface-adhering bacteria and measurement of bacterial counts are performed.

The "BD BBL Select APS Triptych Case Soybroth" series is a soybean-casein-digest medium that complies with the three-pronged pharmacopoeia for medium filling tests. To provide safer products, it is manufactured in a dedicated animal-free facility that does not use animal-derived materials or antibiotics. Additionally, it incorporates an even stricter quality system than conventional factories to minimize the possibility of cross-contamination. 【Features】 ■ Soybean-casein-digest medium that has been γ-irradiated for medium filling tests and complies with the three-pronged pharmacopoeia ■ Animal-free, reducing BSE/TSE risks ■ Manufactured in a dedicated animal-free facility ■ Mycoplasma/endotoxin testing conducted

BD established a domestic factory in Fukushima Prefecture in 1987, and by integrating Japan's excellent production technology and quality control, it has developed into a production base that boasts world-class quality. By having factories in the three regions of the United States, the EU, and the Far East, including Japan, we have established a system that can respond to diverse needs. Our company offers a variety of 'live media' products, including the room-temperature storage medium series (compliant with the Japanese Pharmacopoeia) such as "BD BBL SCD Agar Medium RT," "BD BBL R2A Agar Medium RT," and the medium series for food hygiene management, "BD BBL Desoxycholate Agar Medium." [Features] ■ Domestic in-house manufacturing ■ Side printing compatible (to avoid interfering with colony counting, lot and expiration date information is printed on the side of the petri dish) ■ COA (Certificate of Analysis) can be obtained from the web *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

"Baird Parker Agar" is a selective isolation medium for Staphylococcus aureus recommended in the food proposal No. 0729-4 from July 2015, which revised the testing methods for Staphylococcus aureus as specified in the standards for food and food additives. This product contains sodium pyruvate to promote the growth of staphylococci, while tellurite salts suppress many other bacterial species, and when potassium tellurite is reduced, it causes the colonies of staphylococci to turn black. 【Features】 ■ Recommended by international standards such as ISO6888, AOAC, and BAM methods ■ Manufactured in our domestic factory *For more details, please refer to the catalog. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

This document is a technical paper on Microbio μ3D by Hiroyuki Ogawa (Microbio Co., Ltd.), published in the magazine "PHARM TECH JAPAN December 2016 issue special edition." The "time-lapse image analysis method" is an analytical method that fully automates the agar medium culture method, speeding up detection and counting. By transitioning from manual visual inspection to a fully automated rapid microbial detection device, we can expect a reduction in quality inspection time and labor. Currently, we are offering the original paper and a novelty item to the first 20 respondents! *Please note that what you can download is only a part of the paper.

What is BD(TM) mCCDA Clear HT? Based on the selective isolation medium for Campylobacter, mCCDA (modified Charcoal Cefoperazone Desoxycholate Agar), this product ensures high visibility by forming purple colonies on a transparent medium through a patented manufacturing process. Additionally, it suppresses the growth of contaminants with high selectivity. Features This product makes it easy to identify colonies, improving the efficiency of the tester's work. Furthermore, it reduces the likelihood of overlooking the characteristic difficult-to-identify colonies of Campylobacter (droplet-like colonies that appear thin and spread out), which is particularly useful in facilities lacking testers with extensive knowledge and experience in microbiological testing.

"BD(TM) mCCDA Clear HT" is a transparent medium that achieves high visibility through a patented method that forms purple colonies, based on the composition of a selective isolation medium for Campylobacter, a cause of food poisoning. It also has high selectivity, suppressing the growth of contaminants, allowing for targeted cultivation of Campylobacter. 【Features】 ■ Easy identification of colonies, improving work efficiency ■ Prevents overlooking of hard-to-identify colonies (the Campylobacter-specific colonies that appear as droplets with thin, spread-out liquid) ■ Can be tested without advanced microbiological skills ■ Delivered from our domestic factory! (*For details, please refer to the catalog) <Free samples of this product (20 plates per box) available!> Application forms are available for download below.

The "BD Laspacheck TM PlusONE" swab for wipe tests is designed to detect and measure the number of microorganisms present on surfaces of important instruments, equipment, food materials, and hands, which is crucial for hygiene management. This product allows for efficient and quantitative understanding of microbial contamination from equipment, environments, and workers in the food manufacturing process. By creating a cap-type hole at the bottom of the main body and improving the design to allow direct dripping onto a petri dish, it enhances work efficiency by enabling 1cc to be dripped onto the dish without the need for a pipette. 【Features】 - Uses large cotton balls for easy wiping - Integrated cap cotton swab for easy wiping operation - Larger cap for easy handling even with gloves on - Soft plastic for easy squeezing of the cotton ball - Can drip directly from the container onto the petri dish - Securely closes with a screw cap - Minimizes splashing of the solution when opening *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
