TSA (Tryptic Soy Agar) / CET (Cetrimide Selective Agar) / MSA (Mannitol Salt Agar) Triplates

The 15 mm x 100 mm triplate format with 7 mL fill volume per section provides three distinct cultivation approaches on a single plate: Tryptic Soy Agar supports non-selective general-purpose cultivation of a wide variety of microorganisms, Cetrimide Agar selectively isolates P. aeruginosa with characteristic pigment production for identification, and Mannitol Salt Agar selectively isolates and differentiates pathogenic Staphylococcus species based on mannitol fermentation. This comprehensive three-media strategy eliminates the need for separate plates, conserving sample volume and incubator space while enabling comparative evaluation across non-selective and two critical selective formulations. The USP compliance ensures suitability for pharmaceutical environmental monitoring, water quality testing, and regulatory applications where comprehensive organism detection and identification are essential for product safety and quality assurance.
