"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.
basic information
【Product Features】 Warranty Period: 1.5 years after manufacturing (unopened) Storage Conditions: Refrigeration required (2-15°C) Features: Can test for E. coli and coliforms simultaneously International Certification: MicroVal, AOAC-PTM 【Benefits】 ■ No need for media preparation Since media preparation is unnecessary, it can reduce working time by about 3 hours. ■ High correlation with agar media, accurate and reliable ■ No equipment required for agar media preparation Equipment such as graduated cylinders, stirrers, and water baths needed for agar media preparation is not required. ■ Space-saving compared to agar media With a height of about 1mm, it can be cultured in a space-saving manner while being stacked compared to agar media. ■ Waste is 1/20 of conventional methods! A product aimed at SDGs The waste is only 1/20 of that of agar media, contributing to the prevention of marine pollution, including microplastic issues. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
