Product Description
When you need reliable microbiological testing solutions, these gamma-irradiated soyabean casein digest agar plates with lecithin and polysorbate 80 deliver consistent results. Designed for professionals who demand accuracy, these ready-to-use plates eliminate preparation time while maintaining high performance standards.
The unique formulation combines soyabean casein digest with lecithin and polysorbate 80, creating an optimal environment for microbial growth. The addition of 1% glycerol enhances the medium’s effectiveness for specific testing requirements. Each plate undergoes gamma irradiation to ensure sterility, making them ideal for critical applications where contamination control is paramount.
Researchers and quality control professionals appreciate the triple-pack configuration, which provides additional protection during storage and handling. Whether you’re conducting environmental monitoring, sterility testing, or general microbiological analysis, these plates offer the reliability you need. The 50-plate pack size makes them perfect for laboratories with moderate testing volumes.
For laboratories that prioritize efficiency without compromising quality, these irradiated agar plates represent the ideal balance between convenience and performance.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of having dependable lab supplies that meet international standards. That’s why we’ve made these high-quality agar plates available to researchers and students across India. The gamma irradiation process ensures each plate arrives ready for immediate use, saving valuable time in your workflow.
The soyabean casein digest base provides excellent nutritional support for a wide range of microorganisms, while the added surfactants (lecithin and polysorbate 80) help neutralize residual disinfectants that might otherwise inhibit growth. This makes the plates particularly useful for testing in environments where cleaning agents are commonly used.
For educational institutions, these plates offer an excellent teaching tool, allowing students to observe microbial growth patterns under controlled conditions. The consistent quality ensures reproducible results, which is essential for both learning and research applications.
Applications and Uses
These versatile agar plates find applications across various microbiological testing scenarios. In pharmaceutical quality control, they serve as an essential tool for sterility testing of products and manufacturing environments. Food safety laboratories use them to monitor production areas and verify cleaning protocols.
Environmental testing facilities rely on these plates for surface monitoring in cleanrooms and controlled environments. The plates’ ability to neutralize common disinfectants makes them particularly valuable for testing in healthcare settings where stringent cleaning procedures are followed.
Academic institutions benefit from the plates’ consistency when teaching microbiology fundamentals. Students can confidently perform experiments knowing the medium will support reliable microbial growth. Research laboratories use them for general microbiological studies where a nutrient-rich, neutralized medium is required.
Storage and Handling
To maintain the integrity of these gamma-irradiated plates, proper storage is essential. Store the plates in their original packaging at 2-8°C until ready for use. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or temperature fluctuations, as these can affect the medium’s performance.
When handling the plates, always use aseptic techniques to prevent contamination. Remove only the number of plates needed for immediate testing, and allow them to reach room temperature before inoculation. This helps prevent condensation that could interfere with results.
The triple-pack configuration provides an additional layer of protection during storage and transport. Each individual plate remains sealed until use, maintaining sterility throughout the testing process.
Quality Assurance
Every batch of these soyabean casein digest agar plates undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent performance. The gamma irradiation process guarantees sterility, while the manufacturing process follows strict quality standards to maintain medium uniformity.
At eqipped, we source these plates from reputable manufacturers who adhere to international quality standards. This commitment to quality means you can trust the results obtained from these plates for your critical testing applications.
FAQs
What microorganisms can grow on these soyabean casein digest agar plates?
These plates support the growth of a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. The nutrient-rich soyabean casein digest base provides essential nutrients for microbial growth, while the added surfactants help neutralize inhibitory substances.
How long can I store these gamma-irradiated plates?
When stored properly at 2-8°C in their original packaging, these plates maintain their quality for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use.
Are these plates suitable for environmental monitoring?
Yes, these plates are excellent for environmental monitoring applications. The formulation includes surfactants that neutralize common disinfectants, making them ideal for testing surfaces in cleanrooms and other controlled environments.
Can I use these plates for sterility testing?
Absolutely. The gamma irradiation ensures sterility of the plates themselves, and the nutrient-rich medium supports the growth of any contaminants that might be present in your test samples, making them suitable for sterility testing applications.
What is the advantage of the triple-pack configuration?
The triple-pack provides additional protection against contamination and physical damage during storage and handling. It also allows for more efficient organization in the laboratory, as you can open one pack at a time while keeping the others sealed.
