Microbankâ„¢ is Pro-Lab's ready-to-use system designed to simplify the storage and retrieval of your bacterial and fungal cultures. It is comprised of a unique cryovial system incorporating treated beads and a special cryopreservative solution. Microbankâ„¢ provides a more reliable means of maintaining important cultures than repetitive subculture, which can result in contaminated cultures, lost organisms or changed characteristics. The specially formulated preservative ensures longer survival of fastidious cultures and higher quantitative recoveries.
Microbankâ„¢ is available in five colors, offering microbiologists the flexibility to color-code different species or strains. Each vial contains approximately 25 beads, providing repeated cultures of the original organism using a simple procedure.
The standard presentation of Microbank™ is 80 vials supplied in a freezer box manufactured from durable plastic with a “see through†lid, number locator printed screen and tube collection device.
Now shipping Microbank with a unique 2D Barcode on each box and each vial facilitates easier
documentation and retrieval of your isolates.
