Spore Strip-Dual Species
Product Description
Spore Strips consist of a paper spore strip inoculated with a sterilization-resistant spore population which are packaged in a glassine envelope. The glassine envelope serves as a microbial barrier which protects the spore strip from post sterilization contamination. Reduced incubation time available with appropriate conditions

- 5-1000T (1000/bag)
- 5-1000C (1000/bag control strips)
- TSB-BP16 (RIT media x 100 tubes)
