Bioscreens are used to monitor the growth of pure and mixed
bacteria cultures and to check the effect of single or multiple
parameters such as temperature and different chemicals.
The range of applications spans a wide spectrum – from
miniaturized bioassay of vitamins to antibiotics and amino
acids etc. It is used for studies of effect of chemicals on
pure and mixed cultures, development of antibiotics, QC for
food measuring total count - CFU/g and other alike.
