Sartorius´ Nutrient Pad Sets (NPS) are sterile, dehydrated culture media that are easy to handle and ready-to-use with just a few millilitres of sterile water. Packaged together with gridded membrane filters, they offer a shelf life of up to 24 months at room temperature.
A recent study has demonstrated the superior performance of Sartorius´ Nutrient Pad Sets (NPS) under challenging transportation conditions involving high temperature and humidity.
Key findings include:
- Packaging Excellence: Sartorius´ NPS packaged in double-layer aluminum bags showed no visual changes or loss of selectivity, unlike competitors' transparent plastic packaging.
- Consistent Performance: Sartorius´ NPS maintained quality and selectivity, effectively differentiating microbial species even after exposure to extreme conditions.
- Rigorous Testing: Stored at 40 °C and 80% humidity for up to two weeks, Sartorius´ NPS demonstrated reliable microbiological quality control.
Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of robust packaging in preserving Sartorius´ NPS integrity during transport, ensuring consistent performance over a 24-month shelf life.
