The average person seeking medical treatment has no idea that culture media even exist. Therefore, the average consumer is not aware of their importance in terms of ensuring the quality of a multitude of manufactured products. Culture media are indispensable to the work of medical personnel and quality-control technicians, however. Microbiological and diagnostic products marketed by Quelab under the brand name Que-Bact are essential in detecting and identifying microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and moulds. The use of these products constitutes the dependable method of verifying whether a product is sterile and of detecting pathogenic organisms in water and foods, as well as the presence of these organisms in the manufacturing process involving numerous non-consumables.
