Isolation and Differential Culture – Selective Microorganisms

The first step in detecting microorganisms is the ability to isolate them from different samples which is done by sampling and differential and selective culture. Histogenotech microbiology laboratory with suitable facilities has ability to isolate and cultivate different types of bacteria and fungi. In addition, the Histogenotech Laboratory of Microbiology has expanded its services for the isolation, culture and identification of some viruses.

Phenotypic tests (identification) of microorganisms and colony count

Microscopic and macroscopic examination can distinguish microorganisms from different samples and this step can be a key and important step in tracking microorganisms. In Histogenotech, detection of microorganisms usually provided by staining and for macroscopic detection of microorganisms from culture characteristics such as type, shape, color, arrangement as well as odor. count of bacterial colonies used to monitor the healing process of infection or food contamination

Perform general and specific staining to detection of microorganisms

The quickest way to detection a microorganism is microscopic observation on a slide with a stain. In microbiology, general staining used for the observation of microorganisms and specific staining used to observe a specific bacterium or a specific structure. The Histogenotech microbiology unit with the benefit of up-to-date equipment and its specialists is ready to provide Gram staining services, Welch, Fulgen, acid-fast staining (Zill-Nelson and Cayenne), Staining of protozoa and worm eggs (trichrome and…), staining of fungi (white calciflora and…), and observation of intracellular bacteria by Wright, Giemsa and Gimenez staining methods.

Performing colony count test (counting the number of colonies) by spreading method in culture medium

The colony count test is used to check the number (load) of bacteria in the sample. Colony count test is used to check the contamination of different samples such as water, food, clinical sample of the patient. It also examines the response of a microorganism to treatment with a particular drug. The Histogenotech microbiology laboratory is ready to present the fully analyzed results to the researchers using the common technique of spreading the sample in the environment (Spread-plating).

Synthesis of microbial nanoparticles and study of the effect of nanodrugs on microorganisms

With the advancement of science and the clarification of different research fields, the importance of nanotechnology science is becoming more and more clear. Extraction of natural nanoparticles from different bacteria Synthesis of polymer and metal nanoparticles by microbial derivatives, also, the study of the effects of nanoparticles in the fight against microorganisms is in the cutting edge of science. Histogenotech Microbiology Laboratory with its nanotechnologists and microbiologists, had A big step in providing the production of polymer and metal nanoparticles and evaluating the effectiveness of such materials. It has also passed their confirmation tests (including FESEM, SEM, TEM, DLS and ZETA size) and is ready to provide services.
