The Thermo Scientific™ Culti-Loops™ Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae ATCC™ 700603™ is a ready-to-use quality control organism designed for routine performance verification in clinical, research, and industrial microbiology laboratories.
Culti-Loops are dehydrated, stable microbial preparations that provide consistent and reproducible results when testing culture media, stains, reagents, biochemical identification systems, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing procedures. Each loop contains a calibrated quantity of the ATCC-licensed reference strain, ensuring standardized performance and traceability in accordance with laboratory quality control guidelines.
This strain, Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae, is a Gram-negative rod commonly associated with clinical microbiology testing, and is widely used as a control organism for evaluating the performance of selective and differential media, as well as identification systems for Enterobacteriaceae.
Product Principle and Usage
Each Culti-Loop is individually sealed in a protective foil pouch to maintain stability and sterility. The loop can be used in two ways:
-
Direct streaking onto culture media
The loop can be streaked directly onto an appropriate agar medium for recovery and testing. -
Rehydration in liquid medium
The loop can be dissolved in a liquid medium or in Culti-Loops Aerobic Set Rehydration Fluid (Part No. R4631000) before use, allowing flexible application based on standard laboratory protocols.
This versatility makes the product suitable for routine quality control and validation procedures in microbiology laboratories.
Key Features and Advantages
The Culti-Loops format provides a convenient, contamination-safe alternative to maintaining live stock cultures. It minimizes the risk of cross-contamination, reduces preparation time, and ensures consistency between laboratories and test runs. Because the strain is based on an ATCC-licensed reference culture, it meets global requirements for standardized microbiological quality control.
