Seed stock reference strains for special applications.

 

Our authentic derivative QC microorganism products, delivered in user-friendly, time-saving formats, can be used for the vast majority of microbiological quality control applications. Occasionally a special research project or other application requires the use of original seed stock reference strains. That’s why we have partnered with leading global culture collections NCIMB, NCTC and NCPF to supply their original reference strains for our customers.
