Lockable Settle Plates for Safe and Efficient Viable Air Monitoring and Personnel Monitoring

ICRplus Settle Plates, from Merck Millipore (France), feature a new two-way closure system: the “CLOSED” position allows safe transportation and aerobic incubation while the “VENT” position expands incubation for the detection of anaerobic and microaerophilic microorganisms.

ICRplus Settle Plates are filled with Casein Soybean Digest Agar (TSA), which is recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Guidance for Industry (2004): Sterile Drug Products Produced by Aseptic Processing — cGMP. The plates are offered in formulations with neutralisers for the inactivation of disinfectant. Additionally, the plates can be utilised for the detection of fastidious bacteria when used in combination with Chocolate Agar and lecithin, Tween 80 and histidine (LTH).

The plates also offer the ultimate in convenience with room temperature storage at the site of use and a long shelf life. This translates into decreased storage costs and fewer incoming goods controls and QC testing.”

ICRplus Settle Plates are produced under aseptic conditions, gamma-irradiated and triple-bagged, making them optimal for personnel monitoring, passive air sampling and active air sampling with sieve like samplers (e.g., MAS air samplers) in isolators and clean rooms.
