FAQs Customer Reviews Related Products
What is the primary application of Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension in research?
Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions are primarily used for sterilization validation studies, anaerobic microbiology research, and as a surrogate in pathogenicity testing. The spores' high resistance to heat and chemical agents makes them ideal for testing sterilization processes and studying anaerobic bacteria behavior in various condition.
How should Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension be stored?
Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions should be stored at 2-8°C to maintain viability and stability. Proper storage conditions are essential to ensure the spores' effectiveness in experimental applications and to prevent any degradation or loss of viability over time.
What are the safety precautions when handling Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension?
When handling Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions, it is crucial to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and lab coats, and to work in a biosafety cabinet if possible. Although C. sporogenes is non-pathogenic, standard microbiological practices should be followed to prevent contamination and ensure safety.
Can Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension be used for comparative studies with Clostridium botulinum?
Yes, Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions are often used as non-toxic surrogates for Clostridium botulinum in comparative studies. Due to their similar resistance profiles, C. sporogenes can be used to validate sterilization methods and study spore resistance mechanisms without the risks associated with C. botulinum.
How are Clostridium sporogenes spores quantified in the suspension?
The concentration of Clostridium sporogenes spores in a suspension is typically determined through direct spore counts using microscopy or by plating techniques that allow for the enumeration of colony-forming units (CFUs). Accurate quantification ensures reliable results in sterilization validation and microbiological studies.
