New gamma-irradiated agar media
Biotest Diagnostics Corp. announces the introduction of gamma-irradiated RCS Agar Strips for use in aseptic and contamination-controlled environments. The sterile, double-wrapped agar media strips are packaged in 40-strip boxes in which two individually wrapped packages of 20 strips each is enclosed within a second sterile wrapper. Gamma irradiation of the packaging ensures aseptic transfer of the ready-to-use RCS Agar Strips into a sterile environment.
Available with a modified Tryptic Soy Agar for determining total airborne microbial counts, the media includes supplements which protect it from possible irradiation damage. A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is included in the box. Sterilization validation, growth promotion, and shelf life data are available from the manufacturer.
