Compact Dry™ ETB Ready to Use Medium For Enterbacteriacae Testing, With AOAC Certification, 100 Plates

Compact Dry ETB is used for enumeration of Enterbacteriacae in food products and food environments helps to monitor the degree of cleanliness and sanitation.

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.

Compact Dry ETB is a simplified medium to determine number of Enterobacteriaceae by the combination of selective agents and a pH indicator.
