Compact Dry TC

Description

Compact Dry TC

Compact Dry TC (Total Count)
Bacteria form red colonies

Compact Dry is a ready-to-use test method which helps to reduce the time needed to perform microbial testing. Therefore, it allows maximum productivity by increasing efficiency. The plates can be used to test raw materials as well as finished products like food, beverage, meat, cosmetic or other samples. The Compact Dry plates can also be used as a contact plate for difficult areas using the Compact Dry swab.

Compact Dry TC is a medium for total viable bacterial count, which contains nutrient standard
agar. The colonies grown on Compact Dry TC are red due to redox indicator tetrazolium salt.

Regression line data from Compact Dry TC method plotted versus the conventional PCA method (standard plate count agar) shows a good correlation per 100 food samples for the population of me-sophilic aerobic micro-organisms. Compact Dry TC is AOAC, MicroVal and NordVal approved.
