Each plate contains chromogenic substrates producing colonies to grow 3 dimensionally and develop specific colours for easy counting.
Compact Dry is the perfect hybrid between traditional agar plates and film agars, sporting a rigid plastic outer for greater stack ability and no leaks, along with the tough media-infused woven pad being self-diffusing to reduce damage to agar when applying your sample.
NO NEED FOR PESKY SPREADERS!
