Microbial Identification Microplates

Microbial Identification

Rapidly and accurately identify nearly 3,000 species of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast, and fungi.

In addition to species-level identification, Biolog’s advanced phenotypic technology provides valuable information on the functional properties of strains. Biolog’s carbon source utilization technology identifies environmental and pathogenic microorganisms by producing a characteristic pattern or “metabolic fingerprint” from discrete test reactions performed within a 96-well microplate. Culture suspensions are tested with a panel of pre-selected assays, then incubated, read and compared to our extensive database.

Getting the answers you need has never been easier

  • Simple one minute setup procedure
  • No gram stain or other tests needed
  • Fully automated, semi-automated, and manual solutions for any level of throughput

Biolog’s Microbial ID microplates incorporate a patented redox tetrazolium dye that changes color as a result of cellular respiration, providing a metabolic fingerprint.

Our complete solution includes instruments, consumables, database, and software.

The database has been designed specifically to support the needs of environmental monitoring, QC microbiology, water and waste-water testing, agricultural and veterinary applications, and other non-clinical needs.

When using Biolog’s microbial identification microplates, the right system can help you interpret your results to ensure correct identification.  Depending on your level of throughput, we offer different solutions to support your needs: 

  • MicroStation™.  A single plate reader with a software package that can identify aerobic and anerobic bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi.
  • Odin™ system.  A fully automated incubator/reader with a 50 plate capacity and a software package that can identify aerobic and anerobic bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi.
