Contact plates are ideal for monitoring microbiological contamination of surfaces and air (using an air sampler) inside cleanrooms, isolators, RABS (Restricted Access Barrier), the food industry and hospitals. Triple-wrapping ensures that the package itself does not contaminate the environment, as the first wrapper is removed just before entering a clean area. Plate packaging containing PCA is not irradiated.

VWR® dehydrated culture media that has been granulated offers both convenience and safety benefits. The correct dissolution of culture media is critical to achieving the best performance. Granulated culture media saves time in the preparation of ready to use culture media. In addition, granulation reduces dust generation, so handling the product is more pleasant and safer for the user, making it a much cleaner and safer working environment.
