Simple and Effective System for Colony Counting!

Compact Dry™ is a ready-to-use system reducing the time needed to perform microbial testing on food, beverage, meat, cosmetics, and raw materials. Place 1ml of sample onto the plate and incubate. Colonies grow and develop specific colors from chromogenic substrates. This provides for easy organism differentiation and counting.

Compact Dry™ LS for the isolation, presumptive identification and enumeration of Listeria spp. Colonies of Listeria will turn blue due to the presence of chromogenic substances.

Four Easy Steps!

1. Remove protective cap from Compact Dry™ plate.

2. Drop 1ml of specimen (dilute if necessary) in the middle of dry sheet.
