Compact Dry™ TCR Ready to Use Medium For Total Viable Count Rapid Testing, With AOAC Certification, 100 Plates

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

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.
