We also offer supplements and additives and reagents for bacteria identification. Molecular Biology To complement our Microbiology range, we manufacture specific products for Molecular Biology. CONDA offers a complete line of agaroses covering all known applications: standard agarose for electrophoresis techniques, low-melt agarose for DNA recovery and high-resolution agarose for small fragments. We also offer dehydrated culture media for Molecular Biology, buffers, Pronakit™, a unique kit for the differentiation of species, and Resins for Affinity Chromatography (His-tagged proteins) and for the Immobilization of Biomolecules. CONDA has recently launched a new line of PCR kits for the analysis of soybean and corn transgenic species (GMO) and for the identification of commercial fish species. Ingredients Over 45 years of experience make us true experts in the whole development process of culture media and, for this reason, we also offer all the necessary raw materials for the manufacture of media. We have a complete range of agars for different applications (microbiology, food, pharmaceutical and plant tissue culture), peptones from plant and animal origin (with Certificates of Suitability for BSE-Free assurance) plus a range of carbohydrates and glucosides. Our Quality Commitment CONDA continuously improves and increases its production to meet the highest international quality standards. The company complies with the ISO 9001:2000 standard, and was the first Spanish company in this sector to be granted the certificate in 1998. Our products comply with various international standards such as ISO, the European Pharmacopoeia, FDA, APHA, USP and AOAC standards. CE (European Community) marking was achieved in January 2003. Our Quality Procedures Strict quality control procedures are adopted by CONDA prior to, during and after the manufacturing process to ensure quality products and batch-to-batch consistency. CONDA also exerts tight control over the selection and treatment of all raw materials and the various components (peptones, carbohydrates, minerals and chemicals, agar and other additives) used in the manufacturing process. We extensively source, select and test the best materials only for each application. Physical-chemical characteristics are tested, such as appearance, color, odor, moisture, solubility, clarity, gelling, temperature and pH. The media also undergo additional microbiological tests that guarantee growth, differentiation, biochemical performance, recovery of small inocula, selectivity, etc. A quality certificate is always supplied with each product. Our reputation and success throughout the world are the result of a combination of uncompromising quality systems, technical expertise and innovative thinking.
