Nutrient Pad Sets, Dehydrated Media Pads in Standard TTC Media and 0.45µm gridded Membrane Filter

Sartorius nutrient pad sets are practical. They require moisture with 3.0 – 3.5 mL of sterile and demineralized water, and they are ready to use. Optimal moisture is evident when an excess ring of water surrounds the NPS. Once moistened, you have a sterile culture media appropriate for optimal microorganism growth.   

Secure Shipping 

Each nutrient pad is individually inserted into a petri dish and sterilized. Ten of these petri dishes are sealed in an aluminum bag, protecting the constituents of the nutrient pad during transport. This ensures that you receive a high-quality product that you can use with confidence. Quality persists throughout the entire shelf life of the nutrient pads up to 24 months.   

Compliance with International Standards 

These nutrient pads meet the standards of diverse international water and food industry organizations. Aside from the European drinking water directive, they comply with international pharmacopoeias, DIN and ISO standards, the American Standards for Water and Foods, mineral water regulations, brewery guidelines such as MEBAC and EBC and recommendations of the food industry such as LMBG, NCA, and ICUMSA.   

Economical and Convenient 

A standard NPS box contains 100 sterile nutrient pads. Membrane filters are also included and individually sterile packaged. To enhance ease of use, membrane filters of the RDN versions are compatible with the Microsart^® e.motion Dispenser and conveniently inserted. The nutrient pads prevent time-consuming and labor-intensive preparation of nutrient media, including sterilization and cleaning, maximizing laboratory workflow.
