Description: Columbia Agar with Sheep Blood Contact Plate
Quantity: 10/Pk.
Unit Size: Each
Prevent agar from falling out of the dish with Thermo Scientific contact plates which feature a dome shaped bottom. GripFit™ technology makes plates easy to handle and ensures the lid remains in place during handling while being easily removed during environmental monitoring. An inner layer on the base of the plate is sub-divided into grids to allow easy calculation of colony forming units (CFU) from surface tests, enabling labs to report whether contaminant levels fall within pre-defined acceptable limits. Easy stacking provides more stability during handling and transport, and ventilation is reduced to prevent plates from drying out.Our contact plates are manufactured using a specialized, automated procedure to ensure a smooth, evenly distributed layer of agar on each plate. Surface sampling is achieved by gently rolling the domed surface of the agar onto the area to be tested. If any micro-organisms are present that can cause disease or infection, they will grow to form easily visible colonies on the surface of the agar. This offers a reliable and effective way of determining the microbial cleanliness of surface areas and help control invisible dangers associated with microbial contamination. Clearly visible growth is available within three days for bacteria and within five days for fungi. Not all products are available for sale in all territories.
