Our settle plates contain either Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA), Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) or a non-animal, vegetable peptone media for minimal risk of BSE/TSE contamination, all prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the European and US pharmacopeias. They are available with neutralizers of a wide range of disinfectants and β-lactam antibiotics. Neutralizers such as lecithin (L), tween 80 (T), histidine (H) and sodium thiosulfate (Th) are able to inactivate residues of disinfectants, of which a wide range are used the world over for sanitization purposes. Plates supplemented with β-lactamases, such as cephalosporinase (cephase) or penicillinase (penase), can inactivate a wide spectrum of β-lactam antibiotics.
Secure and reliable:
Data matrix barcode on each plate: Paperless and reliable identification of inpidual plates
