CompactDry
![]() |
Chromogenic culture media for Microbial Testing CompactDry products are ready-to-use dehydrated chromogenic media plates for minimised testing time and improved quality assurance and control processes. This includes selective growth and colouration for rapid and efficient species identification and enumeration. Used to test:
CompactDry has structural rigidity for safe and secure handling and stacking. The sealed lid allows 3-dimentional growth and minimises the risk of cross-contamination and spillage. |

Description:
CompactDry AQ for water heterotrophic bacteria CompactDry AQ plates contains a chromogenic nutrient poor medium for determining the colony count of heterotrophic organisms in treated drinking water and ultra-pure water. Colonies are almost all red. Yeast tends to grow as white-pink colonies. Moulds grow as a typical 3-dimensional cotton wool form. Manufacturer P/N: 54061

Description:
CompactDry YM/YMR for yeast and mould CompactDry YM/YMR differentiates yeasts and mould through characteristic colour development and morphology. The medium contains the chromogenic enzyme substrate X-Phos which results in blue yeast colonies. Moulds form “cotton wool” colonies with a characteristic colour. Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria. The CompactDry YM/YMR facilitates very good 3-dimension growth of yeast and mould. Manufacturer P/N: 54063

Description:
CompactDry ECO is a dehydrated medium plate used to detect E. coli in food and beverages E. coli is a bacterium that is commonly found in the gut of humans and warm-blooded animals. The presence of E. coli is an indicator of faecal contamination and possible presence of enteric pathogens in water, seafood, dairy, raw & undercooked ground meat products, and raw vegetables. Monitoring and identification of E. coli is used at each step of the food production process as a quality control parameter. Manufacturer P/N: 54064

Description:
CompactDry CF-L to test for coliforms in dairy products Coliforms are gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-spore forming bacteria and commonly found in animal intestines and soil. The term “coliform” refers to enteric bacteria found in foodstuff such as meat, shellfish, dairy products, other foods and in particular, water. Bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter are all coliforms, but the most recognized coliform is Escherichia coli. Testing for the presence of coliform is important in the food industry, particularly in dairy production. Manufacturer P/N: 54065
