Compact Dry™ XSA (Staphylococcus aureus)
Compact Dry XSA is intended for use by microbiologists for the isolation and enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in food and related samples.
Compact Dry XSA is a simplified medium to determine Staphylococcus aureus by the combination of selective agents and chromogenic substrates.

In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone as an animal byproduct.
It is important to detect and determine the bacterial number in food products and food environment to monitor the degree of cleanness as well as their sanitary safety.
Mixing and dilution culture method has been widely used to determine the microbial count. The method is time-consuming and complicated, requiring
operations such as preparation of hot agar, mixing and dilution uniformly and/or smearing.
To save operator time and make it possible for anyone to perform the microbial count test without difficulty, Compact Dry was developed based on a new concept and technology applicable to the food industry. Compact Dry allows for easy addition of a sample to the device.
