BIOME-Preserve collection kit preserves live microbiome samples (e.g., stool) for growth and isolation of anaerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms. The product effectively preserves microorganisms under anaerobic conditions at room temperature for up to 5 days without significant viability lost.

Agar plate packs are poured and packaged under anaerobic conditions (PRAS media). Anaerobe Systems’ unique manufacturing process prevents oxygen contamination or damage to the culture media. The plates are pre-reduced and ready to use out of the package, without the need to use an anaerobic environment for extended periods before inoculation.

Broth media are poured and packaged under anaerobic conditions (PRAS media). Anaerobe Systems’ unique manufacturing process prevents oxygen contamination or damage to the culture media. The broth media are pre-reduced and ready to use out of the package, without the need to use an anaerobic environment for extended periods before inoculation. Tubes are sealed with Hungate style caps, which contain a rubber septum, allowing for inoculation without removing the cap or exposing the broth to oxygen.

PRAS Dilution Blanks are an anaerobic version of PBS (phosphate buffered saline). Anaerobe Systems’ PRAS Dilution Blanks contain reducing agents in addition to the buffering mineral salts. These products are ideal for serial dilutions prior to plating for culture recovery or for preparing dilutions for CFU counts.
