Microbiology: 10 Problems, 10 MICROKIT Solutions
The Best Kits and Media in Microbiology
Across laboratories worldwide, microbiologists face ten recurring challenges that can affect the accuracy, reliability and efficiency of their analyses.
At MICROKIT, we have developed ingenious, easy-to-implement solutions that optimise analytical performance and ensure consistent, high-quality microbiological results.
1. Conservation of Microbiological Strains
From weekly reseeding in slant tubes to long-term preservation for years:
CRIOTECA® Skim Milk, ANAEROTECA®, and MPT–Vibrio cholerae slanted tubes provide reliable, cost-effective solutions.

2. Air and Surface Disinfection
Disinfect the air and laboratory surfaces effectively — without UV blind spots.
AIRESANO produces a fine disinfectant fog that reaches every corner safely and evenly.

3. Surface Microbiological Control
Alternative systems to Rodac plates and dipslides for every surface type:
Rapidswabs-TC, Rapidswabs-YM, Sulfate API Agar tubes, Listeriswabs-Green, and more.

4. Surface Hygiene Validation
Validate cleaning effectiveness quickly and reliably.
KitProPLUS redefines hygiene monitoring — just as Uber transformed transport — providing rapid bioluminescence-based verification.

5. Cosmetics Microbiology
Safety in cosmetics is not about the absence of four pathogens — but of fourteen, as required by EU Regulation No. 1223/2009.
Begin your self-control programme with Cosmetikit-EasyPlus, and advanced labs can add just one extra medium — CUP12A — for full assurance.

6. Food Microbiology
Conventional methods for detecting Listeria and Salmonella are slow and costly.
Our Listeriquick-desh and Salmoquick-desh kits provide accurate detection in just 36 hours — no specialised devices required.
We also offer a wide range of classical and chromogenic media for food analysis.

7. Water Microbiology
Prepared plates often have limited shelf life.
MICROKIT offers hermetically sealed long-life plates for analysing water, beverages, and pathogen confirmation after enrichment.

Plaquis Hermetic Plates
8. In-Situ Water Testing
How to perform water control on-site without being limited to chlorine kits?
Use our Mini-Drinking Water Kit, Vibrio cholerae P/A vials, and 100 g P/A bottles for convenient, accurate in-situ testing.

9. Water Analysis – Clostridium Detection
Traditional detection of Clostridium perfringens via membrane filtration leads to up to 50% false negatives and a 1–3 log count reduction due to oxygen exposure.
Our Quanti-PA Clostricult Bags eliminate these issues, ensuring maximum precision, accuracy and linearity — without the need for anaerobic chambers.

10. Special Dehydrated Media for Complex Challenges
MICROKIT provides specialised dehydrated media for a range of microbiological needs:
- RNA-F bacteriophages and somatic coliphages
- BPNW to neutralise food matrix effects
- Rapid PCA Chromogenic for total aerobic count in 18–24h
- Rapid YM Agar for yeast and mould counts in 18–36h
- Salmonella-Shigella Broth to avoid false negatives
- LPTN Broth to inactivate cosmetic preservatives
- CUP12 Agar to detect 12 emerging cosmetic pathogens
- Buffered Peptone Neutralising Water to reduce preservative interference
