Compact Dry™ ETC Ready to Use Medium For Enterococcus Species Testing, With AOAC Certification, 100 Plates

Compact Dry ETC is used to detect and determine the bacterial count in food products and the environment to monitor the degree of cleanliness as well as sanitary safety.

Compact Dry ETC is a ready-to-use medium to determine Enterococcus species, including E. avium, E. casseliflavus, E. durans, E. faecalis, E. faecium, E. gallinarum, E. haemoperoxidus, E. hirae, E. malodoratus, E. mundtii, E. pseudoavium, and E. thailandicus by the combination of selective agents and chromogenic substrates

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.
