Custom Media Services
|
| Teknova manufactures standard and custom liquid reagents. Typical batch volumes range from 1 liter to 500 liters. ACS, reagent, and ultra pure grades of chemicals are used in the manufacture of all products. Sterile products are packaged in class 10,000 laminar flow hoods. Column chromatography for product purification is available to a scale of 48 liters media. |
| Sterile screwcap microtubes are used to package 0-2000µL of liquid reagents. Typical applications include single use PCR reagents and kit components. A variety of tube configurations are available. Skirted, conical, etc... Microtubes are typically filled with repeating pipetters for low precision applications and single dispense pipetters for precision >1% |
| Sterile PETG media bottles are ideal for the packaging of sensitive media products. Square in shape and transparent, they are attractive and easy to handle. Available in sizes ranging from 30mls to 10 liters. Bottles are either precision filled by weight or to graduations. |
| A variety of non sterile bottles are available for product packaging. Precision of fill is as specified by customer. Glass bottles are precleaned or V&I. Plastic bottles include HDPE, HDPP, PETG, and Polycarbonate. |
| Powders can be weighed and
dispensed under both sterile and non-sterile conditions. Powders can be
packaged in a variety of bottles and pouches. |
| Pre – measured media in a soluble pouch – is geared for the researcher that cannot purchase
ready – made products. The product competes with granulated or capsule media holding up to
the equivalent of 20 liters per pouch, just drop in water and stir. |
| Pre-poured plate media is autoclaved and dispensed into plastic petri dishes. Dishes are available in 100x15mm round, 150x15mm round, 100x100mm square, 245x245mm square, 86x128mm oblong, 60 x 15mm Contact plates, Quad or Bi-Plates, 6 well, and 24 well. |
| Quality control programs are designed to insure product quality and to satisfy the specific documentation needs and requirements of the customer. We are currently using the following techniques for quality assays |
Gravimetric determination
Titrimetric analysis
Conductivity/resistivity
Electrophoretic mobility
Visible and UV spectrum
Polymerase chain reaction
DNA sequencing
Restriction fragment analysis
Bacterial and yeast growth assays
HPLC Analysis |
