Description
CompactDry SL detects salmonella using 20 - 24 hour pre-enrichment steps. The plates are based on the combination of different test principles:
- Alkalinisation of the medium, by Salmonella lysine decarboxylase the medium colour will change from blue-purple to yellow. The yellow coloration spreads over the plate due to Salmonella motility.
- Greening of the colony, caused by decomposition of chromogenic substrate with a specific Salmonella enzyme. Black colonies are generated by hydrogen sulphide producing Salmonella.
CompactDry - a ready-to-use method to minimise microbial testing time and improve quality control processes. Dehydrated, selective and chromogenic media for total count and/or microbial species identification.
Can be used to test raw materials and processed food products - food, drinks, ready meals, cosmetic and environmental. CompactDry is also used to test surfaces (both food and environmental) using sample swabbing.
CompactDry has a sealed lid to minimise cross-contamination/spillage and a rigid structure to ease handling and stacking.
