Description

General description

Contact Slides TC-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. Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA, Soybean Casein Digest Agar) is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and molds. The medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate 80 and histidine.

Application

Contact Slides TC-y are designed for the determination of the total microbial 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.
