January 14, 2008 Contact plates (Rodac) in peelable blister pack We announce with great satisfaction the new peelable blister pack for our contact plates. The new peelable blister pack fulfills the highest quality and protection standards for the plate. The blister pack, produced fully automatically and in controlled environment, offers the following advantages compared to the pouch pack: - full transparency of the package; - does not release particles during the film opening phase, critical in environment controlled by particle counter; - allows the usage of single plates, leaving the remaining plates protected in their pack; - drastically reduces the dehydration of culture medium during the shelf life period; - permits better product preservation and isolation during transportation and storage phases; - guarantees the product can not be handled after the packaging; - enables the immediate individuation of possible culture medium alteration previous to opening the package, therefore avoiding contaminations to the controlled environment. Price and ref. of the contact plates remain unvaried. The contact plates in the new peelable blister pack are already available.
