Compact Dry™ EC Ready to Use Medium For Coliform and Escherichia coli Testing, With AOAC Certification, 100 Plates

Compact Dry EC is used to detect and measure coliform and Escherichia coli in food products and the food environment to monitor the degree of exposure and limit the possibility of food poisoning.

Especially as E. coli is an indicator of fecal contamination.

Measuring E. coli and coliform simultaneously is needed in the food industry

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 applicable to the food industry.

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

Certification by AOAC!

Compact Dry EC has been compared to AOAC Official Method 966.24 and certified by the AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested Methods Program (Certificate No. 110402) for enumeration of coliform in raw meat (raw ground beef. raw ground pork, raw pork, raw lamb, and raw veal).
