CompactDry™ - Ready-to-use microbiology plate

View all

Dry, ready-to-use culture plates. The sample is pipetted straight onto the plate, spreads by itself and rehydrates the medium; after incubation the colonies are counted on the plate. No agar to prepare or sterilise, suited to enumerating microorganisms in food and environmental samples.

ELISA method

View all

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays run in microtiter plates: the target antigen or antibody is recognised specifically and gives a colour signal read on a plate reader. Many samples are analysed side by side in a single run.
