Biolog is presenting an educational webinar on June 16, 2026 designed to help microbiologists achieve more consistent growth and faster results when working with anaerobic organisms. This is an area that remains technically challenging across clinical, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories.
Titled “Upgrading Your Anaerobic Cultures: Practical Tips, Media Selection, and What Really Drives Performance,” the webinar will focus on practical strategies to improve anaerobic culture success rates. The session will draw on Biolog’s deep expertise in anaerobic microbiology, including innovations originating from Anaerobe Systems (now a Biolog brand) which has been a leader in anaerobic microbiology technologies for more than 40 years.
Anaerobic cultivation is often hindered by variability in media quality, suboptimal handling techniques, and inconsistent environmental control. This webinar aims to address those challenges by highlighting how proper media selection and workflow optimization can significantly improve anaerobic growth and reliability.
During the session we will introduce TruPRAS™ media, Biolog’s line of pre-reduced, anaerobically sterilized media designed to simplify workflows while supporting robust growth across a broad spectrum of anaerobic bacteria. Attendees will be presented with comparative performance data evaluating TruPRAS media against commonly used alternatives, offering insight into how media formulation impacts growth outcomes.
In addition to media selection, the webinar will cover practical, lab-tested techniques for handling anaerobes, many of which are derived from Biolog’s highly regarded 2.5-day hands-on anaerobic bacteriology laboratory course. These techniques are intended to help laboratories minimize oxygen exposure, reduce variability, and standardize procedures for more reliable results.
Participants will also receive a preview of upcoming product developments and enhancements to Biolog’s anaerobic workflow solutions, reflecting the company’s continued investment in advancing microbiology tools.
Key learning objectives include:
- Understanding performance differences between anaerobic media options
- Applying proven best practices for culturing and handling anaerobes
- Gaining early insight into new product innovations and workflow improvements
This webinar is expected to be particularly valuable for microbiologists working in clinical diagnostics, microbiome research, industrial quality control, and pharmaceutical development, where accurate anaerobic culture remains essential.
