Features

• McFarland Latex Standard No. 5, 16 X 100 mm Tube, 8 mL
• McFarland Latex Standards are used as turbidity standards for adjusting densities of bacterial suspensions
• McFarland Standards provide a reference for standardization of bacterial suspensions used for susceptibility testing and other procedures that require a standardized inoculum
• The McFarland Latex Standards are prepared from suspensions of uniform latex particles with similar absorbance values as the original barium sulfate standards
• The stability of McFarland Latex Standards allows for a significantly longer shelf-life than the original barium sulfate standards due to reduced light sensitivity
