General description

Contact Slides TC are developed for easy and flexible microbiological monitoring of flat and curved surfaces. Each contact slide is individually sealed in the transparent and flexible primary backing film made from PET and provides a rectangular surface of 25 cm2. 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 are designed for the determination of the total microbial count on dry, sanitized surfaces as well as personnel in controlled environments of production lines, i.e. food and beverages as well as non-sterile and terminally sterilized pharmaceuticals.
