Celebrating 25+ Years of EasySeed® and EasyStain®
For more than 25 years, EasySeed® and EasyStain® have set the global benchmark for quality, reliability, and confidence in Cryptosporidium and Giardia testing. Trusted by water laboratories around the world, these Australian developed products have supported public health protection and regulatory compliance since their introduction in the early 2000s. From routine monitoring to method validation and quality assurance, EasySeed and EasyStain have become essential tools for laboratories that demand accuracy, consistency, and proven performance.
EasySeed® — The Gold Standard in Quality Control
Since its release to market in 2004, EasySeed® has become the gold standard reference material for Cryptosporidium and Giardia testing.
Nearly 900 production batches have been manufactured with unprecedented precision, making EasySeed one of the most consistent biological reference materials ever produced. Every batch is rigorously quality controlled, with randomly selected tubes carefully analysed and counted to verify performance.
EasySeed is a certified reference material under ISO Guide 34 and is approved by major regulatory authorities, including:
• United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA)
• United Kingdom Drinking Water Inspectorate (UK DWI)
• Japanese Water Works Association
For over two decades, laboratories have relied on EasySeed to verify recovery efficiency, investigate method performance, and maintain confidence in C&G results — batch after batch, year after year.
Precision You Can Trust
EasySeed’s reputation is built on data. Across hundreds of batches, statistical analysis of quality control results has demonstrated extraordinarily tight count distributions, giving laboratories confidence that observed recoveries reflect method performance — not variability in the seed itself.
This level of control has made EasySeed a cornerstone of quality assurance programs worldwide and a reference point against which other products are measured.
EasyStain® — The World’s Best C&G Stain
EasyStain® was developed to address one of the most difficult challenges in water microbiology: clearly distinguishing Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts from background debris.
Designed as a complete immunofluorescence staining system, EasyStain produces bright, specific fluorescence with minimal background, making interpretation clearer and more reliable under the microscope.
EasyStain is:
• Approved by the US EPA, UK DWI, and Japanese Water Works
• Supplied as a convenient kit for 80 tests
• Manufactured with a 12 month shelf life
• Suitable for use in regulatory and routine water testing
For more than 25 years, EasyStain has helped analysts see what matters — and ignore what doesn’t.
Proven Performance, Global Reach
EasySeed and EasyStain are used by leading laboratories across the globe, supporting regulatory methods such as US EPA Method 1623 and equivalent international standards.
With distribution from warehouses in Australia and the United States, BioPoint ensures reliable supply and rapid delivery to customers worldwide — backed by decades of technical expertise and product support.
A Legacy Built on Science
EasySeed and EasyStain were developed by Australian researchers with a singular focus: to give laboratories absolute confidence in their results. More than 25 years later, that mission remains unchanged.
As water quality challenges evolve, laboratories continue to rely on the proven performance of EasySeed and EasyStain — products built on precision, trust, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
