Contact Plates

Biokar Contact Plates with Neutralizers


Biokar Contact Plates are ready-to-use culture media designed for surface hygiene monitoring in cleanrooms, production areas, and critical control points. Each formulation—such as PCA, VRBL, VRBG, SDCA, and Baird-Parker—is enriched with neutralizers to inactivate residual disinfectants, ensuring accurate recovery of microorganisms. These plates are ideal for detecting and enumerating total aerobic flora, yeasts and molds, Staphylococcus aureus, coliforms, and thermotolerant coliforms. Their domed surface allows for direct contact sampling in compliance with ISO 18593.

Contact PCA + TTC + Neutralizers

> Ready-to-Use:

  • Plate Count Agar (PCA) is pre-prepared and ready for use.

> Microorganism Detection:

  • Ideal for detecting and counting microorganisms on surfaces.

> Surface Monitoring:

  • Used for microbiological monitoring programs to control critical points in industries.

> Versatile Applications:

  • Suitable for surfaces in protected areas, and for industrial environments.

> Enrichment:

  • Supplemented with TTC (for visualizing colonies) and neutralizers (to reduce inhibitory effects of disinfectants).
