Ready-to-use media
Ready-to-use culture medium plates are the ideal tool to monitor hygiene. The easy-to-use plates contain specific culture mediums that promote the growth of selected microorganisms.
Culture mediums such as our Compact Dry products significantly simplify food microbiology. The investigation is based on the cultivation of the microorganism on appropriately-modified standard culture mediums. The principle of detection is based on specific chromogenic substrates that are decomposed into colored products in the metabolism of the microorganisms. After an incubation period, it is easy to see whether the respective parameters were present in the food sample or on the tested surface.
Compact Dry – easy-to-use dry medium plates for food microbiology
The Compact Dry product line is based on a ready-to-use culture medium pad for the cultivation of microorganisms and offers a series of application possibilities in the microbiological food analysis. Since it is easy to use and has a special detection technique, the Compact Dry plates makes it possible for the user to significantly reduce the overall duration of the microbiological assay to some extent. In doing so, it is possible to achieve maximum productivity and increased efficiency when executing the analyses. Compact Dry is a tried and tested, reliable alternative method for the microbiological analysis of food samples and is an excellent method for the hygienic monitoring of surfaces. In combination with the Promedia ST-25 sampling system (item no. Z0302), it is possible to carry out surface swab tests easily and effectively. Due to the net-like structure of the culture medium pads of the Compact Dry plates, they are particularly well suited for the incubation of membrane filters after the filtration of liquid food samples (water, beverages). Compact Dry plates can be stored at room temperature for up to two years. Most of the tests are validated in accordance with ISO 16140 and/or AOAC-RI.
