Hardy Diagnostics Releases New Room Temperature Storage Sterile Environmental Monitoring Plates

SANTA MARIA, Calif., July 23, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Hardy Diagnostics has begun production of triple-bagged, irradiated SterEM™ mono plates and Lok-Tight™ irradiated contact plates with new package enhancements. The new packaging formats offer convenient room temperature storage, shelf-life stability and significant reduction of moisture build-up.

Along with new packaging to mitigate condensation concerns, all Lok-Tight™ contact plate products have a friction lid design to keep the lid in place prior to sampling and an optional plate locking feature, assuring lids stay secured during transport to the lab.

These product categories are designed for increased environmental monitoring in critical areas and are irradiated to a SAL 10ˉ⁶. Hardy Diagnostics’ commitment to continuous improvement will benefit customers requiring added measures of sterility and security for their environmental monitoring programs.
