Microbial ID & Strain Typing

Monitor your facility and products against bacterial contamination with AccuGENX-ID® and AccuPRO-ID®.

Rapid Endotoxin Testing

Responsible, routine sterility assurance programs and quality control test services must also be practiced in parallel to continuously confirm the quality and safety of each new product.

Viral Clearance

Class III medical devices that use material of animal origin (e.g., prosthetic valves) bear the risk of viral contamination, and thus may be subject to viral clearance studies.

Characterization of an Acute Rodent Osteomyelitis Infectious Model Using a Tibial Intramedullary Implant Inoculation

Chronic osteomyelitis in presence of orthopedic implants is a condition observed in the field of biomaterials as it impairs early bone-implant contact, fixation and integration. In this study, a surgical intramedullary tibial insertion was performed using a titanium wire previously inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus in order to develop an osteomyelitis model in a clinically relevant long bone and in absence of any prophylactic treatment.
