General description

Contact Slides SDX-y are developed for easy and flexible microbiological monitoring of flat and curved surfaces. The unique design makes it a universal tool for aseptic environments and isolators. Each contact slide is individually sealed and gamma-irradiated. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDX; SDA) is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of yeasts and molds. The medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as Polysorbate 80 and Phosphatidylcholine, which belongs to the group of lecithin’;s. The mixture of irradiable antibiotics included in the media inactivates the growth of bacterial strains.
