Sterile Anhydrous nutrient plates for simple microbiological analysis of solutions and dry matter. Simple and safe to use Safely non-slip stackable Easy interpretation due to chromogenic additives and 1 x 1 cm grid Storage and transport at room temperature With detailed instruction-for-use Suitable for the control of foods and feeds, cosmetics and pharmaceutical samples, for hygiene monitoring and contamination control, for schooling and student´s courses CompactDry™ plates are suitable for detection and enumeration of microorganisms from foods and feeds, cosmetics and pharmaceutical samples, as well as for hygiene monitoring and contamination control in food-producing areas. Due to the chromogenic additives, colonies depict specific colouring, making them easy to interpret. CompactDry™ plates are easy and safe to handle. Due to storage at room temperature, they may be used even on site. One millilitre of the sample to be analysed is applied onto the sterile plate surface, spreading itself evenly over the plate during rehydration of the medium. Dry sample matter is homogenised and solubilised using the CompactDry™ Dilution Rack (Art. No. 4823.1) prior to plate inoculation. CompactDry™ CFR sterile, for microbiology The selective medium CompactDry CFR contains the chromogenic enzyme substrate X-Gal, which leads to blue to blue/green colonies. CompactDry CFR enables the simple cultivation and counting of coliform bacteria in dairy products as well as environmental tests in 16-18h. Not a medical device / Not an IVD product
