Sartorius Stedim Biotech Microsart @media agar media dishes

Sartorius Stedim Biotech has introduced Microsart @media to complement Microsart @vance, a product line for microbiological quality control in these sectors.

The Microsart @media line of agar media dishes is for microbial limits testing according to the USP (Chapter <61>) and EP (Chapter 2.6.12). They are pre-filled with various agar media types, such as Tryptic Soy Agar or R2A Agar, sterile packaged and ready to use in combination with Microsart @filter units.

The product features an innovative lid that allows touch-free transfer of the filter membrane onto the media without using any tweezers. In addition, easy access to the colonies after incubation is available due to the liftable lid. The intelligent design and ease of use is said to eliminate most handling mistakes.

Due to their concerted development, the matching Microsart @media active lid fits onto the Microsart @filter base. The few steps required between sampling and incubation are said to save time and labour while delivering more reliable results. The touch-free membrane transfer eliminates membrane manipulation and handling, thereby minimising a major source of secondary contamination.
