CompactDry
![]() |
Chromogenic culture media for Microbial Testing CompactDry products are ready-to-use dehydrated chromogenic media plates for minimised testing time and improved quality assurance and control processes. This includes selective growth and colouration for rapid and efficient species identification and enumeration. Used to test:
CompactDry has structural rigidity for safe and secure handling and stacking. The sealed lid allows 3-dimentional growth and minimises the risk of cross-contamination and spillage. |

Description:
CompactDry VP for Vibrio parahaemolyticus CompactDry VP can easily detect Vibrio parahaemolyticus, but also differentiates Vibrio parahaemolyticus from other vibrio species. The product contains a specific chromogenic substrate for Vibrio parahaemolyticus which develops blue/green or blue colonies, other vibrio species form white colonies. Manufacturer P/N: 06749

Description:
CompactDry EC for Escherichia coli and coliform CompactDry EC is a medium to detect E. coli and coliform bacteria. The medium contains two different chromogenic enzyme substrates: Magenta-Gal and X-Gluc. E.coli forms blue colonies. Red and blue colonies counted together provides the total coliform number. Manufacturer P/N: 54052

CompactDry CF for coliform CompactDry CF is an easy tool for the detection of coliform bacteria. The media contains the chromogenic enzyme substrate X-Gal and coliforms colonies are coloured blue/blue green. The growth of other bacterial types (genius) is mostly inhibited but in certain instances may form colourless colonies. Manufacturer P/N: 54053

Description:
CompactDry YM/YMR for yeast and mould CompactDry YM/YMR differentiates yeasts and mould through characteristic colour development and morphology. The medium contains the chromogenic enzyme substrate X-Phos which results in blue yeast colonies. Moulds form “cotton wool” colonies with a characteristic colour. Antibiotics inhibit the growth of bacteria. The CompactDry YM/YMR facilitates very good 3-dimension growth of yeast and mould. Manufacturer P/N: 54054

Description:
CompactDry SL for Salmonella species CompactDry SL detects Salmonella using 20 – 24 hours pre-enrichment steps. The plates are based on the combination of different test principles: Alkalinisation of the medium, by Salmonella lysine decarboxylase the medium colour will change from blue-purple to yellow. The yellow coloration spreads over the plate due to Salmonella motility. Greening of the colony, caused by decomposition of chromogenic substrate with a specific Salmonella enzyme. Black colonies are generated by hydrogen sulphide producing Salmonella. Manufacturer P/N: 54058
