Do you distribute oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum and cysts of Giardia intestinalis?

BEI Resources used to distribute oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum up until 2008. Distribution was stopped due to low demand and the well documented loss of viability of oocysts after 4-6 months at 4oC. We do not distribute cysts of Giardia intestinalis due to difficulties in obtaining an external source and high probability of low demand for the cysts.

Do you have any tips for growing Anaerobes?
  • Start with the media on the product sheet.
  • Make sure the environment is truly anaerobic by using indicator strips in any containers or anaerobic chambers. There are chemical indicators that can be added to liquid media as well. If your laboratory cannot produce a truly anaerobic media, consider purchasing media made under anaerobic conditions.
  • Pre-reduce all media prior to inoculating.
  • Spot some of the anaerobic growth on a rich media, such as tryptic soy with 5 % sheep& rsquo s blood, and inoculate aerobically to check for contamination.

If I'm already registered with another NIH repository or for agents, do I need to complete a full registration with BEI Resources?
Yes. The registration processes for different NIH programs are separate. However, you may be able to use some of the same documents for BEI Resources registration as you did for other applications, such as your CV and Scope of Use.
