Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA), (10-Pack), Pre-Poured, Flat-Packed, Vacuum Sealed, 15x100mm Petri Plates
OUR PLATES ARE PRE-POURED. DON'T WASTE TIME POURING AGAR. The plates are pre-poured, TSA (Tryptic Soy Agar). TSA is general-purpose media, providing enough nutrients to allow for a wide variety of microorganisms to grow. They are used for a wide range of applications, including culture storage, enumeration (counting), isolation of pure cultures, or simply general culture.
THESE TRYPTIC SOY PLATES HAVE A SHELF LIFE OF LONGER THAN ONE YEAR, WHICH IS MORE THAN DOUBLE TODAY'S STANDARD AND ARE MANUFACTURED IN THE USA. Our plates won’t crack or dry out. They have a thick layer of agar which promotes good growth, have been professionally packaged and vacuum sealed in a level 5 cleanroom for a longer shelf life.
THIS PACKAGING PROCESS IS PATENT PROTECTED. We use a method of vacuum-packing our petri plates in an inert gas environment that enables long term storage of many types of petri plates at room temperature for two years or more without deterioration of the nutrient agar contained in the filled plates. Standard storage times and conditions for traditional, sleeve-packed petri plates are normally three months in a refrigerated environment.
PLATE DIMENSIONS. The plates are 100mm in diameter x 15mm deep. The agar in the plates has a depth on average of 6-7mm.
Tryptic Soy Agar plates (TSA plates) consist of a general purpose media that is used for the isolation and cultivation of a wide variety of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. TSA plates also display growth of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. The professional packaging allows for an extended shelf-life that is more than double today's standard. In ongoing shelf-life tests, these plates containing TSA media have maintained nutrient and moisture levels for longer than one year. Our TSA plates can be used for isolating microorganisms, total plate count, and for maintaining stock cultures.
