Medium reagent Dry TC

for microbiology

READY AND EASY TO USE PORTABLE PLATE: PREPARATION OF MEDIUM IS NOT REQUIRED, WHICH ELIMINATES WASTE OF MEDIUM AS WELL AS STERILIZING APPARATUS TO PREPARE THE MEDIUM. DETECTION OF COLONIES ON PLATE IS SIMPLE AND CLEAR. SINGLE COLONIES ON THE PLATE CAN BE ISOLATED FOR FURTHER IDENTIFICATION TESTS DESCRIPTION Compact Dry TC is a medium for total viable bacterial count, which contains nutrient standard agar. The colonies grown on Compact Dry TC are red due to redox indicator tetrazolium salt. Regression line data from Compact Dry TC method plotted versus the conventional PCA method (standard plate count agar) shows a good correlation per 100 food samples for the population of me-sophilic aerobic micro-organisms. Compact Dry TC is AOAC, MicroVal and NordVal approved. Scope of delivery 1400 Plates 500 Plates 240 Plates 40 Plates Specifications Incubation time and temperature - 48 ± 3 hours at temperature as recommended by AOAC 35 ± 2 °C, NordVal / MicroVal 30 ± 2 °C Shelf life - 24 months after manufacturing Instructions Extraction procedure Sample pretreatment Viable count in water or liquid foodstuff Drop 1 ml of specimen (dilute if necessary) on the middle of the Compact Dry plate. Viable count in solid foodstuff Add buffer solution to the sample and homogenize by stomacher®. Drop 1 ml of specimen (dilute if necessary) on the middle of the dry sheet of the Compact Dry plate. Viable count in swab test specimen Use the swab to wipe the surface, put into the device with wiping solution. Drop 1 ml of wiping solution (dilute if necessary) on the middle of the Compact Dry plate.
