Compact Dry PA plates offer a straightforward way to monitor Pseudomonas spp.—especially the spoilage-prone Pseudomonas aeruginosa—in foods, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Each pre-sterilized dish contains selective agents and chromogens. Target colonies develop as red centers with a green-to-yellow pigment halo, while background flora are suppressed, giving you a clear, countable result.

Compact Dry PA streamlines Pseudomonas testing—delivering clear, reliable results that help protect product quality and extend shelf life.

Key Benefits

True “open → inoculate → incubate” workflow – no agar prep, spreading, or autoclaving.
Distinct chromogenic read-out – pigmented colonies stand out for fast interpretation and photo records.
Psychrotroph detection – ideal for verifying refrigerated foods where Pseudomonas drives shelf-life loss.
Ambient-stable & stackable – store at 1 – 30 °C; slim profile maximizes incubator capacity.
Versatile industry coverage – supports QC programs in meat, seafood, dairy, cosmetics, and pharma plants.

Incubation parameters
