Lab-Elite^™ CRM

Increasing regulatory oversight in food, pharmaceutical and water industries has prompted many microbiology labs to seek accreditation to ISO 17025 standards. Our Lab-Elite CRM is designed to help those labs meet the requirements of this standard which specify that “reference materials shall, where possible, be traceable to SI units of measurements, or to Certified Reference Materials (section 5.6.3.2)”. Lab-Elite CRM microorganisms are just one passage from the reference culture and are delivered in our signature KWIK-STIK format. As a Certified Reference Material, Lab-Elite comes with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis detailing the strains identity and characteristics.

Qualitative QC microorganisms one passage from the reference strains for ultimate authenticity
For Testing Laboratories, Section 5.6.3.2 of ISO 17025:2005 states: “Reference materials shall, where possible, be traceable to SI units of measurements, or to Certified Reference Materials."
Strains are one passage from reference culture
Ready-to-use format to save you time and money
Refrigerated storage is easy and economical
Traceability to reference cultures ensures authenticity
Technical Support experts available for guidance
