Sabouraud Glucose Chloramphenicol Selective Agar (Contact), 1x10 plates

Effortless collection of surface samples with the easy-to-use Sabouraud dextrose agar swab plate.

• Suitable for the identification of pathogenic fungi in materials with high numbers of other fungi or bacteria
• Easy to use contact plate for effortless surface sampling.
• Consistent performance: Smooth, uniform agar surface through specialized manufacturing process
• Easy stacking for more stability during handling and transport.
• Ready-to-use practical culture media.

The dome-shaped base of the Thermo Scientific contact plates prevents agar from falling out.
< br>The grid-shaped inner layer of the plate allows for easy calculation of colony forming units (CFU) from surface tests. This allows the laboratory to report whether the concentration of contaminants is within predefined, acceptable limits. Easy stacking increases stability during handling and transport. The reduced air circulation prevents the plates from drying out.

Our contact plates are manufactured using a special automatic process to ensure a smooth and even distribution of the agar on each plate. To take a sample, the dome-shaped surface of the agar is gently rolled out on the surface to be sampled. If pathogenic or infection-causing microorganisms are present, they will grow into easily visible colonies on the surface of the agar. This is a reliable and effective method for determining the microbial cleanliness of surface areas and helps control invisible hazards associated with microbial contamination. Growth is clearly visible within three days for bacteria and within five days for fungi.
