One of the critical aspects of coliphage testing is the availability of media and reagents that meet the rigorous ISO standards. This is where Bluephage’s additional products come into play.

Accuracy and efficiency are paramount when performing ISO tests to analyze coliphages in laboratories. If your laboratory has experience performing ISO 10705-2 and ISO 10705-3 or has just started, Bluephage can offer you a solution to improve your processes and results. 

Why consider Bluephage’s Additional & Individual materials when performing ISO 10705-2 and ISO 10705-3 analysis?

• Calibrated Working Culture: Our offering includes a ready-to-use calibrated working culture of the host strain. This eliminates the need to prepare and calibrate your own culture, which saves time and ensures consistency in your analyses.
• Time and Resource Savings: Preparing specific culture media and agar plates for the double agar layer assay (DAL) according to ISO 10705-2 is a laborious and time-consuming process. Bluephage provides you with ready-to-use culture media, allowing you to save valuable time and reduce costs associated with in-house preparation.
• Quality Assurance: Bluephage products meet the most rigorous quality standards. This means you can rely on the consistency and accuracy of your test results, which is essential for meeting ISO requirements.
• Focus on Sample Concentration: For the membrane filtration process, according to ISO 10705-3, Annex A.2, Bluephage offers products that have been developed specifically for the concentration of samples with low levels of somatic coliphages. This is essential for accurate results in situations where samples may be scarce.
