Company Overview
Established over 90 years ago within the NHS and trading as a private limited company for the past 15 years, Southern Group Laboratory (SGL) is an independent media manufacturer that offers an extensive range of pre-prepared bottled media, plated media, stains and reagents for every microbiologist.

Still a major supplier of prepared microbiological media to the National Health Service, SGL also supplies media to a wide range of industries including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, water, food, and confectionery companies.

In our 20,000-sq.ft 'state-of-the-art' manufacturing facility in Corby, Northamptonshire, we have invested in equipment and facilities to meet the exacting standards of quality and customer service being demanded by today's microbiologists. Both bottled media and pre-poured plates are manufactured in clean room environments under precisely-controlled conditions to ensure optimal performance, quality and maximum shelflife for all our media products. Factors that affect media stability, such as exposure to light, temperature variation and humidity, are all carefully controlled during the manufacturing process, ensuring that our products are of the highest quality available.

· GMP techniques employed throughout the production areas;
· All media manufactured in compliance with our BS EN ISO 9001:2000 certification;
· Rigorous QC examination with certificates available on request.

As an independent media producer we have the ability to manufacture in small batches and as such we can supply any commercial or custom-specified formulations to order.

So, whether you require a completely new medium, or simply a different pack or fill-size, please call our Customer Services Department on +[44] 1536 403815.
