Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 12981

TM Media Culture strains are high-quality reference organisms manufactured specifically for microbiological testing, research and quality control purposes. Derived from internationally recognised culture collections, including NCTC? and NCPF?, these strains are manufactured under license from the UK Health Security Agency, ensuring authenticity, traceability, and consistent performance.

The culture strains are provided as a ready-to-use disc, which makes it much easier in the laboratory while decreasing the chance of contamination. Each disc contains a high concentration of viable microorganisms, enabling rapid recovery and reliable growth when transferred to appropriate culture media.

TM media Culture Strains are used as the ideal reference organisms to undertake method validation, method verification and routine Quality Control tests. They are most often used for assessing the performance of culture media and microbiological reagent performance during staining, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, verifying the performance of microbial identification methods and testing the effectiveness of antiseptic and disinfectant agents.

Manufactured for a high survival rate throughout the shelf life, these culture strains produce expected results every time and are easy to store. They are compatibility with both solid and liquid culture systems.

TM Media Culture Strains enable precise microbial testing, regulatory compliance and quality assurance in nearly every industry in which microbiological testing and compliance are important, including:

Pharmaceuticals

Food and Beverage

Healthcare and Clinical Laboratories

Research and Academic Institutions

Environmental Monitoring Laboratories

These Culture Strains are high-quality reference microorganisms designed for reliable microbiological testing, research, and quality control.
