Description
ROTI®ContiPlate PCA is a ready-to-use, sterile culture plate format intended for microbiological applications. It provides a convenient, pre-prepared plate option for routine microbiology work where plate count agar (PCA) type media are required in a continuous or contact-style plate presentation. Each pack contains 30 pieces supplied in a box, with a total weight of 0,704 kg, supporting batch-wise plating, environmental monitoring, or standard colony-count workflows without on-site media pouring. The sterile, ready-to-use design reduces preparation steps at the bench and helps maintain consistent plate availability for quality-control and laboratory microbiology tasks. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH under the ROTI®ContiPlate line, the product fits laboratories that need dependable PCA plates in defined unit quantities. Use the plates according to established microbiological procedures for total viable counts and related PCA-based applications. The thirty-unit box format is practical for medium-throughput benches and shared microbiology suites that prefer sterile, ready media over in-house pouring, while keeping handling straightforward from storage to inoculation and incubation.

Questions about ROTI®ContiPlate PCA, ready-to-use, sterile, for microbiology, 30 unit(s), box
What is this article?
ROTI®ContiPlate PCA, ready-to-use, sterile, for microbiology, 30 unit(s), box is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
