Abstract
In resource-limited nations, enhancing the shelf-life and stability of critical reagents and consumables is desired. This study evaluated the shelf-life of bacteriological plates in vacuum-sealed nylon/polyethylene packaging flushed with nitrogen (FlatPacks®). Tryptic soy agar (TSA) FlatPacks held at room temperature for 24 months did not change in appearance or texture and supported bacterial growth similar to Day 0 concentrations. In contrast,...
