Hello, today I would like to introduce
you to an easy-to-use and reliable
method for microbial testing at R-Biopharm. We think this product is a
perfect alternative for using agar
plates or other related products and
will make testing of food and
environmental samples so much easier.
Compact Dry is a robust and very
versatile product since several years.
Compact Dry is used by many laboratories
all around the world for microbial food
and environmental testing. Most Compact Dry tests have been validated by
institutes like AOAC Research Institute,
MicroVal and NordVal, so you can be
sure results obtained with Compact Dry
showing excellent correlation with
reference methods. The official
validations and certifications will make
implementation of Compact Dry in your
laboratory easier. Compact Dry does not
only cover the most common
microorganisms. The tests are also
available for bacteria like Listeria, Vibrio, E. coli, Salmonella and Bacillus Cereus.
You can also use Compact Dry for water
testing or testing difficult products
like tea extract.
Let us have a look how easy these plates
are to handle: Open lid, spread sample
liquid, close, finished. There is no need
for any kind of spreader or other
spreading tools as the nutrient pad of
Compact Dry allows the sample to spread
by itself once you have applied the
sample. Close the lid, turn it around and
put it in the incubator. You can stack as
many plates as actually will fit in the
incubator. Thanks to the special design
of the Compact Dry plates, there is no
direct contact possible with the walls
or bottom of the incubator. Compact Dry
is a very versatile product. You can use
Compact Dry for several other
applications. With the help of a filter,
you can test liquid samples using swabs
is perfect if you have to sample spots
that are difficult to reach. Just swab a
defined surface, put the swab back in the
tube and for 20 drops on the surface of
a Compact Dry plate and is that easy.
When using the Promedia swabs, you can
even use the same swab sample on
different Compact Dry plates for
surface monitoring. Compact Dry swabs
for single application are also
available. There is no need for
additional tools or equipment when using
Compact Dry in your microbiology lab. You can continue to use your incubators.
However, you will see you will save a lot
of space using Compact Dry when you are
used to regular petri dishes. Compact
Dry can be stored at room temperature.
There is no cooling needed during
storage. For disposal of the used Compact Dry,
you can use a small autoclave.
Colonies on a Compact Dry plate are very
easy to identify and count.
Thanks to their specific color, they can
easily be identified.
Compact Dry will make food microbiology
testing easier. Compact Dry is ready to use
so no more media preparation and quality
control of these media. If you are using
traditional microbiological methods you
can start using Compact Dry right away.
There is no need for additional tools or
equipment. Most Compact Dry products have
been validated by official institutes so
you can be sure to get reliable results.
The Compact Dry product range also
includes target organisms other
manufacturers do not offer. You can use
Compact Dry for testing food samples
but also liquids like water, juices
and you can also use Compact Dry to
monitor surfaces. Reading your result
from a Compact Dry is easy thanks to
chrome organic components. You can
conveniently store Compact Dry at room
