No complicated workflow. Just one easy-to-use plate.

    • Easy and efficient: Each plate is ready to use — no time-consuming agar prep, no pH adjustment for matrices pH>5 and no special equipment (e.g., UV light) for enumeration.
    • Reliable: Proven accuracy for a broad range of foods compared to Violet Red Bile Lactose agar with MUG and TBX agar.
    • Fast: Read after only 18 to 24 hours of incubation.
