• Can be utilized to evaluate biofilm kill or biofilm removal efficacy of disinfectants

• Recoverable cell counts can be assayed with CFU enumeration or using stains (e.g., crystal violet stain)

• Eliminates need to culture biofilms (no reactors, pumps, or tubing required)

• Eliminates uncertainty associated with producing inoculated carriers in-spec; each product comes with a Certificate of Analysis detailing mean CFU count for that batch

• Simply rehydrate for 20 minutes and you're ready to conduct your assay

• Stable for >1 year from manufacture date when stored between 2°C to 8°C

ReadyNow™ test methods:

• Evaluating Biofilm Kill (see IFU)

• Evaluating Biofilm Removal (see IFU)
