Introducing BBLTM IC-XT Plated Media”<br />
The BBL IC-XT (Isolator Cleanroom eXTended) Plated Media are designed to meet the needs<br />
of the pharmaceutical microbiologist for monitoring isolators and cleanrooms.<br />
BBL IC-XT products offer an increased shelf life of about 6 months, combined with a flexible<br />
storage temperature from 2 - 25 °C.<br />

are VHP resistant and hanging holes are included in all bags. Drying sachets attached to<br />
the plates block the appearance of excessive moisture. A new locking lid design of RODAC<br />
plates secures the attachment of the lid to the base of the plate after sampling. Full validation<br />
packages<br />
For SAL, VHP resistance, shelf life, gamma-irradiation and H2O2 neutralization are available<br />
on request.<br />
