December 16, 2009 Liofilchem Product Catalogue We have the pleasure of introducing our new Product Catalogues. From the beginning of 2010 we have the pleasure of dividing the Liofilchem product ranges into two Catalogues, one for the Clinicalapplications and one for the Industry applications. In this way we will meet our distributor’s needs more efficiently. Most of the Liofilchem items in both catalogues show the compliance to international standards like ISO, APHA, European Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopoeia, AOAC, CLSI. Nevertheless, we are able to demonstrate our unique manufacturing flexibility by welcoming customised formulations and OEM productions. Furthermore, the Liofilchem Clinical Products Catalogue now includes the Liofilchem Immunology product line. Liofilchem Immunology s.r.l. is a trading company founded in 2002. The product range distributed by Liofilchem Immunology, initially comprised of plates for the immunological determination of plasmatic proteins, which the company name derives from, and has now successfully expanded into the turbidimetric and nephelometric sectors. Liofilchem Immunology actively collaborates with manufacturing companies in the development of high quality and reliable diagnostic kits and techniques, in accordance with the international regulations. The objective of Liofilchem Immunology are for the continuous market research of new technological solutions for the diagnostic laboratory and the commercial offer of high quality products at competitive price.

October 21, 2009 Renewal of ISO 9001 certification Liofilchem Obtained by Certiquality the certification of conformity of its Quality System to the UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 standard. The certificates are available for download starting from the Quality System web page.
August 26, 2009 Validation of FOOD SYSTEM (ref. 71680) to the ISO 16140:2003 standard “Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs – Protocol for the validation of alternative methods”. We are glad to announce the validation of our FOOD SYSTEM to the ISO 16140:2003. The FOOD SYSTEM is a 12 wells panel containing biochemical substrata for the detection and presumptive identification of pathogenic microorganisms from foodstuff in just 18-24 hours. The FOOD SYSTEM delivers the simultaneous detection and presumptive identification of: Salmonella spp., Proteus /Providencia spp., Pseudomonas spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Listeria spp., yeasts and moulds. Just like all the Liofilchem microbiological identification systems, the FOOD SYSTEM has the great benefits of performing simultaneous microbiological screening of several microorganisms in one compact panel, reducing costs in man hours and laboratory consumables, requiring no complex lab instruments because of its extraordinary ease of use. Click here for more information about the validation study. The validation certificate is available for download from the Publications web page.

January 14, 2008 Contact plates (Rodac) in peelable blister pack We announce with great satisfaction the new peelable blister pack for our contact plates. The new peelable blister pack fulfills the highest quality and protection standards for the plate. The blister pack, produced fully automatically and in controlled environment, offers the following advantages compared to the pouch pack: - full transparency of the package; - does not release particles during the film opening phase, critical in environment controlled by particle counter; - allows the usage of single plates, leaving the remaining plates protected in their pack; - drastically reduces the dehydration of culture medium during the shelf life period; - permits better product preservation and isolation during transportation and storage phases; - guarantees the product can not be handled after the packaging; - enables the immediate individuation of possible culture medium alteration previous to opening the package, therefore avoiding contaminations to the controlled environment. Price and ref. of the contact plates remain unvaried. The contact plates in the new peelable blister pack are already available.
January 9, 2008 New COPRO SYSTEM Plus We are glad to announce the evolution of our microbial identification system COPRO SYSTEM from fecal specimens. The new COPRO SYSTEM Plus (ref. 71675) is a 18 wells system containing dried biochemical substrata for detection and presumptive identification of microorganisms in fecal specimens. COPRO SYSTEM Plus allows detection and presumptive identification within 18-24 hours of Salmonella spp., Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Yersinia spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter jejunii, Escherichia coli, E.coli O157 enteropathogenic, KES group microorganisms (Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia), Candida spp. The system is inoculated directly with the suspension of the specimen under examination and incubated at 36 ± 1 °C. The tests for detection and presumptive identification of the microorganisms present in the specimen are interpreted evaluating: • color change in the well • immuno-serological confirmation test • performing a microscopical examination. The COPRO SYSTEM Plus will be available from February 1, 2008. The COPRO SYSTEM (ref. 71670) remains available in the Liofilchem product catalogue.
