Description
BioFix Lumi freeze-dried luminous bacteria are specialised reagents for acute toxicity testing in environmental analysis according to DIN EN ISO 11348-3. The pack comprises 10 tubes of freeze-dried luminous bacteria including reconstitution solution, enabling preparation of active suspensions shortly before luminometric measurement. Special packing in cooling bags helps maintain cold-chain conditions from receipt into laboratory storage. These bacteria support standardised bioluminescence assays that quantify the inhibitory effect of water, wastewater and aqueous sample extracts on bacterial light emission, delivering a clear biological endpoint for monitoring and quality-control work. Offered by manufacturer Macherey-Nagel, the freeze-dried format simplifies logistics relative to continuously cultured strains while staying aligned with established ISO 11348-3 workflows. Organised as one complete set for environmental test-kit applications, the pack has a net weight of 0,41 kg. Careful reconstitution restores the metabolic activity needed for reproducible light-output readings in toxicity screening.

Questions about Lumin.bacteria, 10x20
What is this article?
Lumin.bacteria, 10x20 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in Reference substances & reagents (other), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A reference substance has a stated identity and a stated content, used to check a method or to standardise a titration. It is a more tightly specified article than a reagent grade bottle of the same name. The lot's certificate is part of the product.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Analytical standards & reference materials. The sub-category is Reference substances & reagents (other). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are ICP, AAS & ion standards, Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), Volumetric standard solutions (titration), Reagents for analysis (Ph. Eur., ASTM, DIN), Spectroscopy & physical property standards and Indicators & indicator solutions.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
