Description

General description

Contact Slides SDX-y are developed for easy and flexible microbiological monitoring of flat and curved surfaces. The unique design makes it a universal tool for aseptic environments and isolators. Each contact slide is individually sealed and gamma-irradiated. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDX; SDA) is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of yeasts and molds. The medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as Polysorbate 80 and Phosphatidylcholine, which belongs to the group of lecithin′s. The mixture of irradiable antibiotics included in the media inactivates the growth of bacterial strains.

Application

Contact Slides SDX-Y are designed for the determination of the yeast and mold count on dry, sanitized surfaces as well as personnel in controlled clean room environments of production lines, i.e. grade A and B cleanrooms, RABS or isolators.
