New Facilities to Open

Increasing production capacity

We are all set to increase our facilities’ footprint by over 60% to increase manufacturing and warehousing capacity for our entire range of environmental monitoring products.

The opening of the new facility this autumn will mark our 40^th year and follows seven years of sustained positive company growth, including a 20% increase in export sales within the past financial year. This expansion of our facilities will support further future company growth and ensure that product stock is always rapidly available to our customers, whatever the quantity required.

Ask Cherwell!

What does the ‘Use By’ date mean?

For Redipor media, the ‘Use By’ date is the last day on which the medium should be inoculated or exposed. Any incubation period that is normal for that product may begin on that day, for example, a 14-day sterility test in TSB, or a 5-day incubation for a TSA settle plate.

If there’s anything that you’d like to ask us, we’d be happy to help. Just This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
