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.
The nutrient medium used for CompactDry™ X-SA plates is based on a mannitol agar, using lithium as additional selective agent. Staphylococci grow in a light to bright cyan-blue colour.

Questions about Compact Dry X-SA, sterile, for microbiology, 40 unit(s), blister
What is this article?
Compact Dry X-SA, sterile, for microbiology, 40 unit(s), blister is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Shimadzu Diagnostics for laboratory use. It sits in Cell culture media & sera, inside Cell culture, in Life Science & Microbiology.
Cell-culture medium is the liquid a cell line grows in. Serum, often fetal bovine, supplies what the basal medium does not. With or without glutamine, with or without phenol red, and the serum origin are different products. Serum is a cold-chain article and is never part of free standard delivery.
Cell culture grows cells outside the body. The medium, often with serum, supplies what the flask does not. A flask or a dish is the vessel, treated so the cells attach or left untreated so they float. Contamination by microbes, or by another cell line, is the ordinary failure. Cold-chain articles in this work, including serum, are never part of free standard delivery. Lines are catalogued by ATCC. Papers are on PubMed. Practice is summarised by the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
