Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Agar Plates

The 15 mm x 100 mm format is available in four fill volumes (18 mL, 24 mL, 26 mL, and 28 mL) to accommodate diverse testing requirements, from routine water quality monitoring to comprehensive outbreak investigations. Manufactured from optically clear polystyrene for distortion-free viewing of characteristic Legionella colony morphology, these heavy-duty plates feature raised stacking rings to prevent slippage during handling and breathable sleeve packaging of 10 plates that prevents condensation buildup, maintaining optimal plate quality throughout shelf life for reliable Legionella recovery.
