<It's easy!> • Anaerobic bacteria, microaerophilic bacteria, and carbon dioxide-cultured bacteria that require a special gas environment can be cultured with the same ease as aerobic bacteria. • Experiments on low oxygen injury in cells and cell culture under low oxygen conditions can also be easily conducted. <Cultivation results are excellent!> • The reaction speed of the agent is fast, and since you can select the appropriate gas concentration for the bacteria being cultured, the cultivation results are also excellent. • In anaerobic culture, you can achieve a high concentration of carbon dioxide environment close to 20%, allowing for large colonies of anaerobic bacteria. <It's economical!> • It does not require large-scale equipment or special devices. It can be used with a temperature-controlled incubator. • Since the interior of the container used does not become positive pressure, negative pressure, or high temperature, you can use inexpensive dedicated culture containers as well as your own sealed containers.

"BenCatch" is a sheet that simplifies the troublesome stool collection process and allows for reliable stool collection without coming into contact with toilet water. It enables hygienic and accurate stool collection, improving the quality of specimen testing. It also accommodates watery stools (diarrhea), which have been difficult to collect until now. Additionally, because it is made of water-soluble paper, it can be flushed directly down the toilet after use. 【Features】 ■ Hollow structure prevents mixing with urine or toilet water ■ Three-dimensional shape allows for capturing any type of stool directly ■ Can be fixed in the center of the toilet seat with double-sided tape, allowing for normal posture during bowel movements ■ Made of water-soluble paper, so it can be flushed directly down the toilet after collection *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the "0.5% Nitric Acid Solution" that we handle. Actinomycetes are divided into aerobic and anaerobic types, with Nocardia species representing the aerobic group and Actinomyces species representing the anaerobic group. The choice of antibiotics varies, so distinguishing between the two is important. For Nocardia species, the Kinyoun staining method using a 0.5-1% sulfuric acid solution is employed. 【Product Lineup】 ■ SG-SULF-15 (Volume: 15ml) ■ SG-SULF-100 (Volume: 100ml) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "TTC solution" is a simple screening reagent that establishes a rapid screening method (TTC method) for E. faecalis and E. faecium using the reduction ability of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). TTC is originally white, but in physiologically active tissues, it is reduced by dehydrogenase enzymes to form an insoluble red compound called TPF (1,3,5-triphenylformazan). However, no color change occurs in tissues that lack activity. Various enzymes are involved in the reduction of TTC to TPF, including succinate dehydrogenase and flavin enzymes from the electron transport chain. 【Usage Instructions】 1. Collect one colony of bacteria grown on sheep blood agar at 37°C for 24 hours using a sterile swab. 2. Add 1-2 drops of TTC solution to the sterile swab that collected the colony. 3. Let it sit at room temperature for 2 minutes. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

This product is a simple enzyme reaction reagent that can differentiate between the genera Bacteroides and Fusobacterium. Positive bacterial species include Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Parabacteroides distasonis, Phocaeicola vulgatus, and Prevotella bivia. Negative bacterial species include Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bilophila wadsworthia, and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. 【Instructions for Use (Using Microtubes)】 1. Add 20-50 μl of sterile water to the microtube. 2. Use a toothpick or similar tool to take an appropriate amount of colony and suspend it to create a concentrated bacterial solution. 3. Add an equal amount of α-glucosidase reagent to the suspension and mix. 4. Incubate at 35°C to 37°C for 10 to 15 minutes. 5. Shine UV light to check for fluorescence (blue-white) presence. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "Spot Indole Reagent" is a product that demonstrates the ability of specific bacteria to decompose the amino acid tryptophan and convert it into indole, accumulating it in the medium. In the spot test, indole binds to p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMACA) in an acidic pH within the filter paper matrix, producing a blue to blue-green compound. In a positive result, a color change from blue to blue-green appears in the bacterial smear sample within 2 to 3 minutes. If there is no reaction, it is considered negative. 【Specifications】 ■ Product Number: SG-SPOTIND-5 ■ Volume: 5mL *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our vitamin B6 compound, "0.1% Pyridoxal Hydrochloride." Nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS) are bacteria that require L-cysteine and pyridoxal hydrochloride (vitamin B6) for growth, differing from typical streptococci in their nutritional requirements. NVS belongs to the group of viridans streptococci that are commonly found in the human oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract. The drug susceptibility testing for NVS is conducted according to the standard method established by CLSI (M45 ED3:2016), where pyridoxal hydrochloride is added at a concentration of 0.001% in liquid media. 【Product Lineup】 ■ SG-PYRID-3 (3 vials [1 vial: 0.5 mL]) ■ SG-PYRID-5 (5 vials [1 vial: 0.5 mL]) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our resistant bacteria detection reagent, "Boron Acid Solution." Using disks for susceptibility testing, we compare the inhibition zones obtained from disks with and without the addition of this product to determine the production of beta-lactamase and carbapenemase. After culturing at 35°C overnight (16 to 18 hours), if an expansion of the inhibition zone diameter (generally 5mm or more) is observed due to the addition of boron acid, it is judged as positive. 【Product Lineup】 ■ SG-BA50-5 (50μL: 5 pieces) ■ SG-BA50-10 (50μL: 10 pieces) ■ SG-BA50-20PB (50μL: 20 pieces) ■ SG-BA50-50PB (50μL: 50 pieces) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
