Cetrimide Selective Agar Plates, USP Grade

The 15 mm x 100 mm format with 26 mL fill volume provides optimal surface area for observing the distinctive characteristics of P. aeruginosa, including production of pyocyanin (blue-green pigment) and fluorescein (yellow-green fluorescent pigment) that aid in presumptive identification. Manufactured from optically clear polystyrene for distortion-free viewing of colony morphology and pigment production, these heavy-duty plates feature raised stacking rings that prevent sliding during handling and breathable sleeve packaging of 10 plates that prevents condensation and excess moisture buildup throughout shelf life. The USP formulation ensures compliance with pharmaceutical microbiology testing requirements, making this selective medium essential for water quality testing, pharmaceutical environmental monitoring, cosmetics testing, and clinical microbiology where accurate P. aeruginosa detection is critical for product safety and patient care.
