Sartorius 14320-110----ACD BACTair Culture Media Plates, Tryptic Soy Agar, individually sterile packaged, 110mm, 10/pk

These culture media plates are designed for microbiological air monitoring, allowing laboratories to collect and grow airborne microorganisms such as bacteria and molds. They are commonly used in pharmaceutical, food safety, and environmental testing laboratories to evaluate air quality and microbial contamination.

Tryptic Soy Agar is a general-purpose growth medium that supports a wide range of heterotrophic microorganisms, including many aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria. This makes it suitable for determining the total microbial count in air samples.

BACTair plates use an impaction sampling method in which air is drawn through small holes in the plate and microorganisms are impacted directly onto the agar surface. After incubation, colonies that form on the agar indicate the level of airborne contamination.

Yes. The plates are individually packaged and gamma-sterilized, allowing laboratories to use them immediately without preparing media or sterilizing sampling equipment. This helps reduce contamination risk during microbiological testing.

These 110 mm BACTair culture plates are designed to work with Sartorius AirPort MD8 air samplers, enabling efficient microbial air sampling in cleanrooms, production areas, and laboratory environments.
