Description
Nutrient cardboard discs are dry nutrient media presented in Petri dishes for colony count determination by the membrane filtration method. As a practical alternative to conventional agar media, they offer a long shelf life of 24 months and simplify laboratory inventory and workflow planning. Each pack contains 100 pieces with a net weight of 1,328 kg, making the format convenient for routine microbiological testing. These discs from manufacturer Sartorius are intended for use after rehydration in membrane-filtration assays, supporting quantitative enumeration of microorganisms. The dry nutrient-pad design reduces preparation steps compared with pouring agar plates and helps laboratories maintain consistent culture conditions. Suitable for quality-control, water and environmental microbiology applications, the discs belong to the microbiology reagents category. Originating from Germany, they provide a ready-to-use medium format that supports efficient colony counting while minimising media-preparation time. The combination of long stability and straightforward handling makes nutrient cardboard discs a reliable choice for laboratories performing regular membrane-filtration colony counts.

Questions about TGE NPS & gridded MF, 0.45m
What is this article?
TGE NPS & gridded MF, 0.45m is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius for laboratory use. It sits in Ready-to-use culture media (plates, tubes, bottles), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A ready-to-use plate, tube or bottle is the medium already prepared and sterile. It saves the autoclave and it expires. The fill volume, the supplements and the storage temperature are the specification. A plate that has dried out or grown a colony of its own is finished.
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.
