Hardy Diagnostics has added an exciting new feature to all irradiated and non-irradiated contact plate products. Introducing the new Lok-Tight™ contact plate with a friction lid design to keep the plate lid in place, and an optional plate locking feature. The Lok-Tight™ design simply adds an optional user friendly twist and lock mechanism to the current friction design, assuring lids stay secured during transport.
