Description
Compact Dry is also an easy-to-store test method. The plates can be kept at room temperature for
up to two years and can be used over an incubation temperature range of 20 – 42° C.
Compact Dry is a very safe and convenient product. Its rigid structure allows for easy transportation
and an unlimited number of units can be stacked safely in an incubator. The risk of contamination
of the medium is eliminated by using the covering lid.
Additionally membrane filters can be tested using Compact Dry plates. Filter 100 ml water or any
other liquid using an ordinary membrane filter (e.g 47 mm, 45 μm), then pipette 1ml of sterile water
into the middle of the Compact Dry plate and place the filter on the Compact Dry plate. The filter
should be trap side up. Colonies will grow on the filter.
