BD 215275 - BBL Rodac Plate Snap TSA LP80 Tryptic Soy Agar with Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 Sterile Contact Plates, EA
The BD 215275 BBL Rodac Plate Snap TSA LP80 is a ready-to-use sterile contact plate designed for environmental monitoring and surface microbial sampling. This plate contains Tryptic Soy Agar enriched with lecithin and polysorbate 80, which neutralize residual disinfectants, allowing accurate recovery of microorganisms from sanitized surfaces.
Designed in a convenient RODAC (Replicate Organism Detection and Counting) format, the convex agar surface enables direct contact with flat surfaces, facilitating efficient and reproducible sampling. The snap closure design ensures secure handling and helps maintain sterility before and after use, making it ideal for controlled environments.
