Our Media Choice Easygel®
Easygel® is the only mould media we use.
Easygel® is the only mould media that is thermally independent transformational (liquid /solid).
The reason we use Easygel® is simple: transformational (liquid /solid) gets recovery and morpholigical results.
We do not follow Micrology Laboratories' standard instructions for the use of their product.
The formulation of our complex drop out media is by Micrology Laboratories .
The use methods, spore trapping and recovery methods are soley the work FIM. The use of diliuent is part of our methods.
Transformational culture methods are very effiecent at recovering Fungi and smaller amounts of sample material mey be needed so overpopulation of the dish may be avoided.
Dispersion of organisms is a good idea.
We use 2 bottles of media in every dish as we believe the Fungus likes room to grow.
The standard mould media formula we use has triple antobotics, peptones and is color coded.
