The question is: should Compact Dry medium plates be used for microbiological testing?

The answer is: absolutely — especially when you are facing two big problems:

- Lack of equipment

- Lack of specialized staff

1. The problem facing small laboratories today

1.1. A lack of microbiological testing equipment

To run a traditional microbiology laboratory you need:

- An autoclave

- A microbiological laminar flow cabinet

- An incubator

- A balance, a mixer, pre-made culture media

- Glassware and chemicals

👉 The initial investment can reach hundreds of millions of dong

1.2. A lack of specialized staff

- A technician trained in microbiology is needed

- You must know how to prepare media, sterilize, and control cross-contamination

- Small mistakes can skew results

👉 For a small laboratory, this is a very large barrier

2. Why do Compact Dry plates suit small laboratories?

- Compact Dry is a ready-to-use dry medium plate (ready-to-use), designed for rapid, simple, accurate microbiological testing.

* Outstanding advantages:

- No medium preparation needed

- No autoclaving needed

- No microbiological laminar flow cabinet needed

- Extremely simple to handle

👉 All you need is to:

- Drop the sample onto the plate

- Incubate at a suitable temperature

- Read the result

3. A solution for the laboratory that lacks equipment

✔ No need to invest in a complex system

With Compact Dry plates, you only need:

- An incubator (or a simple warming cabinet)

- A basic pipette

- An autoclave

- A laminar flow cabinet

✔ Lower operating costs
