General description

Tryptic Soy Contact Agar + LTH - RT is designed for the determination of the total aerobic microbial count on dry, sanitized surfaces and personnel in the non-critical area.
TSA medium is used for the cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, and molds. The formulation contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium and the medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate (Tween®) 80, and histidine to inactivate disinfectant residues.

Application

The TSA Contact is designed for the determination of the total aerobic microbial count on dry, sanitized surfaces, and personnel in the non-critical area.
