"MC-Media Pad EC" for microbial testing of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria.
MC-Media Pad EC is a microbial detection medium that allows for easy detection of E. coli and coliforms. It enables simple testing in compliance with HACCP.
The "MC-Media Pad" (formerly known as Sanita-kun) is a simplified microbial detection medium that serves as an alternative to agar media. The "MC-Media Pad EC" is a microbial detection medium that allows for the easy and rapid detection of Escherichia coli and coliforms. Escherichia coli develops as blue colonies, while other coliforms develop as blue to blue-green colonies. Counting the blue to blue-green colonies gives the coliform count, while counting only the blue colonies gives the Escherichia coli count. It has obtained international certifications MicroVal and AOAC-PTM. It is also included in the food hygiene inspection guidelines, which are considered the standard for food microbiological testing in Japan. This product can be used as an alternative method for ISO 4832 (coliforms) and ISO 16649-2 (Escherichia coli). 【Features】 ■ Detection of Escherichia coli and coliforms in different colors ■ Easy to use as it spreads naturally with a pipette ■ Medium optimized for good bacterial coloration ■ Contributes to reduced incubation time ■ Different color tapes for each microorganism help minimize operator errors ■ Achieves simple microbial testing in compliance with HACCP *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
