BACTair™ Culture Media Plates

BACTair™ culture media plates are ready-to-connect prefilled agar media plates for microbiological air monitoring using the AirPort MD8 air sampler (impaction method). Airborne microorganisms are directly captured on the culture media plates, where the plates function directly as collection heads. This means that the collection properties are integrated right into the culture media plates. With BACTair™, there is no longer a need for metal sieve plates or metal collection heads, which demand regular sterilisation for routine sampling. The geometry of the culture media plate with its 400 holes yields exceptional sampling efficiency.

• Individually, sterile packaged
• Integrated disposable sieve
• Pre-filled with agar media
• Samples 1m³ in 8 minutes
• Optimised geometry

The Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) medium is used for the recovery of a broad range of heterotrophic microorganisms such as common aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria.
