Prepared Media Bi-plates / Split Plates
More information. One plate.
Faster Decisions.
When you're processing clinical samples, it's always best to learn as much as you can as quickly as you can to support decisions on optimal patient care. That's why we bring together some of the most widely used, high-performance culture media formulations, including our chromogenic media with patented technology, and put them side by side on our range of prepared media bi-plates. By improving your workflow efficiency across manual and automated systems, our goal is to help you do more, learn more and grow more with less.
Clinical laboratories worldwide are increasingly challenged to provide fast, actionable results while operating with staff, space and budget constraints. Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ and Thermo Scientific Brilliance™ agar bi-plates can simplify your workflow and help to double your output.
- Boost your laboratory’s productivity and speed critical results to clinicians
- Reduce waste, storage space, hands-on time and confirmatory tests
- Maximize efficiency with automation compatible plates
- Easily interpret results with chromogenic media using patented Inhibigen™ technology

Case study: Increasing laboratory efficiency with biplates for Group B Streptococcus and Gram positive screening
Read how one of the United Kingdom’s largest teaching hospitals, St. George’s Hospital, has been able to drive efficiencies by achieving a more complete clinical picture from a single sample with the Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Columbia CNA Agar/Brilliance™ GBS Agar Biplate, which they are using to screen Group B Streptococci (GBS) and Gram positive organisms on a single plate.
“Instead of having two plates, a CNA plate and a Group B strep plate, we have half, so we are producing half of the waste, half the storage.” Senior Scientist, Shelley Bray.
Increase your workflow efficiency with tailored media delivery
Reduce waste and simplify the process for QC testing of incoming goods with the Thermo Scientific™ Tailored Delivery System (TDS), a new resusable trolley-based delivery and storage solution for Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ prepared culture media. This system will improve your demand planning and optimize daily usage of culture media by reducing your hands-on time for managing incoming culture media deliveries.
“We can scan the stock directly into our logistics system and check the incoming goods very easily … I can see from one look how much I have and what kind of products.” Cornelia Quandt, the Quality Manager, Laboratory Mönchengladbach Medical Care Center, Mönchengladbach, Germany.
