QC Micro-organisms for Reliable Testing
Accu-Bac® is a quantitative quality control micro-organism. It is a guaranteed second-generation derivative of NCTC® and NCPF® cultures, manufactured under licence from UK Health Security Agency. Accu-Bac® is to be used in an industrial setting.
Each carefully prepared disc will contain a target range of CFU, with 95% confidence interval stated on the Certificate of Analysis. This is ideal for most quantitative applications. Accu-Bac® will be supplied in 1-disc vials and has at least a 12-month shelf-life from the date of manufacture.
- Accurate and traceable – Guaranteed second-generation derivative of NCTC® and NCPF® cultures, fully traceable to the original source strain.
- Defined CFU counts – Each disc contains a target CFU range with a 95% confidence interval stated on the Certificate of Analysis.
- Long shelf-life – Minimum 12 months from manufacture (many batches up to 18 months).
