Soybean Casein Digest Agar with Lecithin & Polysorbate 80 (LT Agar) – Ready-to-Use Plates

These Soybean Casein Digest Agar Plates are specially formulated with Lecithin (0.07%) and Polysorbate 80 (0.5%), making them ideal for environmental monitoring in cleanrooms and controlled production areas. The added neutralizers inactivate common disinfectants (e.g. quaternary ammonium compounds, phenolics), allowing for accurate microbial recovery during surface sampling.

Each sterile plate contains 1.5% glycerol and follows international standards for microbial monitoring in pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetic, and food production facilities.

Manufactured under GMP conditions and gamma-irradiated for safety, these plates are suitable for validation of disinfection procedures, cleanroom qualification, and routine hygiene monitoring.
