StatMedia Soluble Packets

BAX® System MP Media in Convenient, Water-Soluble Packets

These easy-to-use packets provide the same performance as a powder but without the dust or ergonomic issues of handling bulk media. Other benefits include less hands-on time, less waste from expired batches of prepared broth, and reduced need for autoclaving. Packets are wrapped in a water-soluble film made from a polyvinyl alcohol resin. In warm water, the film dissolves within seconds. Because the soluble packets are gamma-irradiated, the prepared broth does not require autoclaving when used within 3-4 hours. For longer storage, broth can be autoclaved and then refrigerated for up to two weeks.
