Compact Dry™AQ Ready to Use Medium For Heterotrophic Bacteria Testing, 100 Plates

Compact Dry AQ is a simplified medium to determine Heterotrophic Bacteria in drinking water.

Treated drinking water should be free from contaminating microorganisms. Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) represents the total microbial count in water, including bacteria, yeast and mold.

Traditional plate methods have been widely used to determine microbial counts, but these methods are time-consuming and require media preparation.

To save operator time and make it possible for anyone to perform the microbial count test without difficulty, Compact Dry was developed based on a new concept and technology available to the food industry.

Ship and store at room temperature. No need for a refrigerator!
