MicroFast® Microbial Count Plate

MicroFast® Count Plate is a sample-ready-culture medium system, using innovative technologies such as rapid diffusion systems and new-generation microbial coloration to achieve rapid proliferation and interpretation of colonies, greatly improving the detection efficiency in the laboratory. It is intended for testing for food, food material and environmental surfaces, the plates are designed to allow the visual count of bacterial, yeast, and mold colonies, aided with the color identification for differentiation of bacteria, yeast, and mold where required.

Current enumeration test procedures involves the laborious preparation of culture media from dehydrated powder, sterilization and pour plating into Petri dishes prior to analysis. These Petri dishes need to be stored in a refrigerator until needed, taking up a lot of valuable storage space. The MicroFast count plates completely reduces the storage space required as the quantity of disposable wastes generated per test, leading to reduction in costs. MicroFast count plates are simple and efficient to use requiring less consumables and minimal training. With an 18 months shelf life the ability to respond to fluctuating demand far exceeds that of traditional media based methods.
