Colony Counter (Product Code: SCI-2429/036) is a digital instrument used to count bacterial and mould colonies on petri dishes in microbiology teaching and testing laboratories. College students and lab staff touch each colony with a felt-tipped electronic pen, and pressure-sensitive counting adds it to a 3-digit LED display reading 0 to 999, with an audible confirmation. This digital colony counter is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Colony Counter Used For?

Plate counts sit at the heart of many practicals: estimating viable bacteria in water, milk or soil dilutions, comparing growth on different media, or showing how a disinfectant reduces survivors. After incubation the dish goes on the counting cell, the background is switched to light or dark to suit the colony colour, and each colony is touched with the pen. The felt tip leaves a dot so the same colony is not counted twice, while the counter adds one and beeps.

Press zero before starting each new plate, use count correction to remove a mistaken touch, and use the average count facility when a group counts replicate plates from the same dilution. Choosing a dilution that gives well-separated colonies makes counting quicker. The simple interface makes it a practical piece of microbiology lab equipment for student benches as well as routine laboratory work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How high can the Colony Counter count?
The Colony Counter displays counts from 0 to 999 on a 3-digit LED display. Each pressure-sensitive touch of the electronic pen adds one colony, an audible signal confirms it, and the count correction feature removes a mistaken entry.

What petri dish sizes fit the Colony Counter?
The Colony Counter accepts petri dishes from 50 to 100 mm in diameter. The dish rests on the counting cell, and a light or dark background can be selected so that pale or dark colonies stand out clearly.

How does the Colony Counter pen prevent double counting?
The Colony Counter's electronic pen carries a felt marker, so each touch on the petri dish registers a count and leaves a dot on that colony. Marked colonies are easy to skip, which helps students avoid counting the same colony twice on crowded plates.

Enterobacter Aerogenes (Product Code: SCI-234/037) is a freeze-dried bacterial culture used to teach applied microbiology techniques in college and university teaching laboratories. Students revive the dried cells and use them to practise streaking, Gram staining and biochemical identification of a Gram-negative rod, making it a dependable starting organism for a bacteria culture experiment. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Enterobacter Aerogenes Culture Used For?

Enterobacter aerogenes is a motile, Gram-negative rod of the family Enterobacteriaceae and a lactose-fermenting coliform, which makes it a standard teaching organism. It is widely used for the IMViC series, where it typically gives indole-negative, methyl red-negative, Voges-Proskauer-positive and citrate-positive results — the reverse of the usual Escherichia coli pattern — and for showing coliform growth in water-testing practicals. In current taxonomy the species is also named Klebsiella aerogenes.

Rehydrate the freeze-dried pellet in a suitable sterile broth, incubate, then subculture on to agar before the class session. Because the species can cause opportunistic infections, it should be handled by trained users with aseptic technique, following the institution's biosafety rules, with benches disinfected afterwards and all cultures autoclaved before disposal. It fits well into a microbiology teaching kit alongside other Gram-negative cultures.

Gaspak 100 Anaerobic System (Product Code: SCI-239/038) is a reusable jar system used to produce an anaerobic atmosphere for cultivating anaerobic bacteria in microbiology laboratories. Colleges, teaching hospitals and research groups load it with up to 12 petri dishes or 13 tubes at a time, using the petri dish rack and tube holder that come with it. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Gaspak 100 Anaerobic System Used For?

Obligate anaerobes, such as the Clostridium species used in teaching, will not grow on plates left in ordinary air. With this system, inoculated plates go into the dish rack (tubes into the tube holder), a GasPak EZ Anaerobe sachet with indicator is placed inside, the lid is closed, and the whole jar is set in an incubator. The sachet removes oxygen from the sealed space, and its indicator lets staff check that anaerobic conditions have been reached before relying on the run.

Close the lid promptly once the sachet is inside, and avoid opening the jar mid-incubation, because air re-entering spoils the atmosphere and a fresh sachet is then needed. Only the sachet is consumed; the jar, rack and holder are cleaned, dried and reused, which makes the system an economical part of any microbiology lab setup that handles anaerobic cultures.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of jars, bearing in mind each holds up to 12 petri dishes or 13 tubes.
• Quantity of GasPak EZ Anaerobe sachets, one per run, for the term's planned incubations.
• Petri dishes or tubes to fill the rack and holder, if you need them quoted too.

Gaspak EZ Anaerobe Sachet with Indicator (Product Code: SCI-241/039) is a gas-generating sachet used to create an anaerobic atmosphere inside the Gas Pak 100 anaerobic system when culturing anaerobic bacteria. Placed in the sealed jar, it produces anaerobic conditions within about 2½ hours and more than 15% carbon dioxide within 24 hours, and an oxygen indicator is included so staff can check the result. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Gaspak EZ Anaerobe Sachet Used For?

The sachet is the active consumable of the anaerobic jar. Sealed in the jar with inoculated plates or tubes, it takes up the oxygen in the enclosed air and releases carbon dioxide, giving obligate anaerobes the conditions they need and providing the carbon dioxide that many fastidious organisms prefer. The oxygen indicator gives a visual check that the atmosphere has become anaerobic before the incubation is relied upon.

Load all plates first, then open the sachet, put it in the jar and close the lid straight away, since the reaction begins once the sachet meets air. A sachet serves one jar run and cannot be regenerated, so college microbiology practicals usually plan sachet stock by counting the anaerobic incubations in the term. Store unopened sachets as directed on the pack.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of sachets, based on one per jar run.
• The jar you use, as the sachet is listed for the Gas Pak 100 anaerobic system.
• Whether you need the batch expiry date before ordering stock for a full term.

Klebsiella Oxytoca (Product Code: SCI-248/040) is a freeze-dried bacterial culture used for student practicals in applied microbiology at colleges and universities. The dried cells come packaged in tubes, and students revive them to study a non-motile, capsulated Gram-negative rod and compare its reactions with related coliforms, a regular part of the college microbiology kit. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Klebsiella Oxytoca Culture Used For?

Klebsiella oxytoca shows the textbook features of its genus: a non-motile, capsulated, lactose-fermenting Gram-negative rod that often forms moist, mucoid colonies. Its usual indole-positive reaction separates it from Klebsiella pneumoniae, so it is a favourite for identification exercises, and the capsule makes it a good subject for capsule-staining practice. It pairs naturally with a staining kit for microbiology classes and with oxidase and IMViC tests.

Open the tube as described in the instructions supplied with the culture, rehydrate the cells in a suitable sterile broth, incubate and then subculture on to agar ahead of the class. Klebsiella species can cause opportunistic infections, so work under trained supervision with aseptic technique, follow your institution's biosafety rules, and autoclave all cultures and used materials before disposal.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, supplies the Klebsiella Oxytoca culture from Ambala, Haryana, to microbiology departments, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.

Oxidase Reagent (Product Code: SCI-249/041) is a laboratory reagent used to detect oxidase enzymes in bacteria during identification tests in microbiology laboratories. Students and technicians use it in the oxidase test, which separates oxidase-positive organisms such as Pseudomonas from oxidase-negative members of the Enterobacteriaceae; it comes in a 30 ml bottle, a handy size among the lab chemicals on a microbiology bench. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Oxidase Reagent Used For?

The oxidase test asks one quick question of a bacterial colony: does it produce cytochrome c oxidase? A little of the colony is rubbed on to filter paper moistened with the reagent, or the reagent is dropped on to colonies, and a colour change signals an oxidase-positive organism. It is one of the first tests used to sort Gram-negative rods, and it also features in water testing microbiology, where presumptive coliforms are expected to be oxidase-negative.

Pick colonies with a platinum loop, a plastic loop or a wooden stick, because nichrome or iron wire can give a false-positive reaction. Test fresh growth, read the result within the time stated in the instructions supplied with the reagent, and run known positive and negative cultures alongside. Many oxidase reagents darken on exposure to air and light, so keep the bottle tightly closed and cool between sessions.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, which supplies the Oxidase Reagent to microbiology teaching labs, testing laboratories and dealers in India and international markets. Labs usually order the reagent with the control cultures and consumables for the same identification practical. The ScienceLab profile page has further company information.

• Filter Paper — moistened with reagent for the paper method.
• Pipette, Pasteur — places drops of reagent on paper or colonies.
• Petri Dish (Complete) — plates for growing the colonies to be tested.

Find more reagents and microbiology items in Laboratory Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Oxidase Reagent detect?
Oxidase Reagent detects oxidase enzymes, namely the cytochrome c oxidase produced by some bacteria. A colour change after a colony meets the reagent indicates an oxidase-positive organism, while no colour change indicates an oxidase-negative result.

What pack size is the Oxidase Reagent?
The Oxidase Reagent is supplied in a 30 ml bottle. As the test needs only a drop or two per colony, one bottle serves many tests; state the number of bottles you need when you ask for a quotation.

Which bacteria give a positive result with Oxidase Reagent?
With Oxidase Reagent, genera such as Pseudomonas, Neisseria and Vibrio typically test oxidase-positive, while Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia, Enterobacter and Klebsiella test oxidase-negative. This makes the test a quick early step in identifying Gram-negative bacteria.

Which loop should be used with Oxidase Reagent?
Use a platinum loop, a plastic loop or a wooden stick when testing colonies with Oxidase Reagent. Nichrome or other iron-containing wire can oxidise the reagent itself and give a false-positive reaction.

What is the shelf life of Oxidase Reagent?
Shelf life of Oxidase Reagent depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the bottle tightly closed, cool and away from light between uses.

Who supplies the Oxidase Reagent?
The Oxidase Reagent is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to teaching and testing laboratories and to dealers in India and international markets, alone or with control cultures and consumables.

Proteus Mirabilis (Product Code: SCI-267/043) is a freeze-dried bacterial culture used in student applied microbiology practicals to study a highly motile, non-lactose-fermenting Gram-negative rod. Teaching laboratories value it for its striking swarming growth across agar plates and its strong urease activity, both easy for students to see, which makes it a memorable organism for microbiology teaching. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Proteus Mirabilis Culture Used For?

On ordinary nutrient agar, Proteus mirabilis spreads outward from the inoculation point in concentric waves, a vivid demonstration of flagellar motility known as swarming. In biochemical practicals it is typically urease-positive, hydrogen sulphide-positive and oxidase-negative, and it forms pale, non-lactose-fermenting colonies on MacConkey agar, giving students a clear contrast with coliforms such as Klebsiella and Enterobacter.

Swarming can cover a whole plate and overgrow other organisms, so give Proteus its own plates or use a medium that limits swarming when isolating mixed cultures. The species can cause opportunistic infections, including urinary tract infections, so revive and handle it under trained supervision with aseptic technique and your institution's biosafety rules, and autoclave all plates and tubes after the class.

Supplier

The Proteus Mirabilis culture is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, to universities, colleges, nursing and paramedical training labs and dealers in India and international markets. Departments can request it together with the other cultures, reagents and plates for a Gram-negative identification practical. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Proteus Mirabilis culture supplied?
The Proteus Mirabilis culture is supplied as freeze-dried cells for student use in applied microbiology. Rehydrate the cells in a suitable sterile broth, incubate, and subculture on to agar before the practical session begins.

Why is Proteus Mirabilis used in teaching labs?
Proteus Mirabilis is used in teaching because its swarming growth makes motility visible to the naked eye, and its typical urease-positive, hydrogen sulphide-positive and non-lactose-fermenting reactions are easy to read in biochemical identification practicals.

How can Proteus Mirabilis swarming be kept under control?
Grow Proteus Mirabilis on its own plates, or use media that limit swarming, such as MacConkey agar or agar with a higher agar content, when other organisms must be isolated from the same sample.
