General description

Tryptic Soy Agar – ICR plus contact plate is designed for the determination of the total microbial aerobic and anaerobic count on dry, sanitized surfaces and personnel in Clean rooms and Isolators. It is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and molds. The formulation of the Soybean Casein-Digest medium contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. The medium is supplemented with Lecithin, Polysorbate 80 (Tween®) and pyruvate to inactivate potential residues of disinfectants on dry surfaces. In addition, the plate model (plus or “+”) is supplied with a lockable lid for safe transport of the samples without the risk of losing the lid. For anaerobic incubation the lid needs to be turned into the vent position.
