Prepared Media Selective Strep Agar (COBA Medium) Mono-Plate Format, 1/BX

Prepared Media Selective Strep Agar is a COBA medium in mono-plate format for primary isolation of Streptococcus species. It fits microbiology and clinical lab workflows that need a ready-to-use plate for respiratory specimens and other streptococcal culture work. The plate size is 15 x 100 mm, and the clear heavy-duty polystyrene supports easier viewing while raised rings help stacked plates stay in place.

Good Fit For

• Microbiology labs processing respiratory specimens
• Clinical culture workflows focused on Streptococcus isolation
• Labs that prefer ready-to-use prepared media plates

Key Features

• Selective Strep Agar COBA medium supports primary isolation of Streptococcus species
• Mono-plate format helps streamline ready-to-use culture plate workflows
• 15 x 100 mm plate size fits standard Petri plate handling in the lab
• Optically clear heavy-duty polystyrene allows distortion-free viewing of growth
• Raised rings improve stackability and help prevent plates from sliding
• Requires refrigeration for storage
