CLONTECH and 3M combine expertise with the new CLONdisc E. coli Culture Medium System
CLONdisc Plates dramatically reduce cost, storage space, incubator space, and waste. CLONdisc Plates simplify the bacterial plating process to three steps: inoculate, incubate and pick. That's it! Using CLONdisc Plates means: no weighing or mixing of agar and media, no microwaving or autoclaving, no contaminated or expired plates, no worry about having the wrong antibiotics, no waiting, and ... no pouring plates!
CLONdisc sample-ready plates can even be flatbed scanned. With an 18-month shelf-life and the option of adding any antibiotic to your diluted E. coli culture, CLONdisc Plates replace traditional agar plates for virtually all molecular biology applications.
The CLONdisc Plate is made with Petrifilm plate technology and is manufactured by 3M Microbiology for CLONTECH.
