Contact plate for accurate hygiene
monitoring
The convex profile of this new contact plate is set to make life easier for quality assurance and quality control professionals
The domed-based Sterilin contact plate is easier to fill, gives a better meniscus with the media, and, unlike the flat-based plate, produces a raised profile when dry This creates increased contact between the agar bed and surface area or environment under test, ensuring far more efficient and accurate sampling
To obtain maximum optical clarity, the new contact plates are aseptically manufactured in clean room conditions, using mirror finished moulds to eliminate mould marks or loose particle contamination.
The physical dimensions have been stringently monitored to ensure a perfect fit with all plate pourers.
With a 25cm2 surface area and a numbered grid to facilitate colony counting, the contact plate is triple-vented for efficient gaseous exchange, and features a deep skirt dish base to aid stability when stacked. Request a free brochure from Barloworld Scientific ...
