BTI Products formulates and produces its own microbiological growth media used to identify and enumerate microorganisms—we have simply found that other methods do not provide accurate results.
BTI Products' media are liquid growth media contained in sealed, high-impact glass bottles. We use our own proprietary recipes, developed through years of research and testing, to provide conditions favorable for the growth of specific groups of real-world microbes.
What makes BTI Products' media and MICkits® better?
- - The BTI Products' approach allows you to detect many more microbes than is possible using other methods, while still having the broadest detection range of any test method-one microbe per milliliter to as high a detection limit as you might want.
- - Putting our media into sealed glass bottles lets us control the gases in the liquid medium and in the headspace, which provides an environment even more favorable to rapid growth of microbes of the desired types, and prevents drying of media (a problem with dipsticks and agar plates). Our media have been designed to grow specific groups of real-world organisms.
- - Enclosed environment eliminates contamination due to exposure to air, dust, and contact with surfaces or fingers.
- - Liquids, biofilms, swabs, corrosion products, soils, effluent, fuels, etc.
- - Positive reactions are definite and rely upon color change or clouding of media.
