MicroFast™ enables customers to enumerate microorganisms, yeasts and molds in a low cost, waste reducing format that fits the needs of the modern environmentally and efficiency conscious laboratory.
MicroFast count plates contain a thin film of dry rehydratable culture media, epoxy resin, and a color indicator. Intended for the testing for food, food material and environmental surfaces, the microbial count plates are designed to allow the visual count of bacterial, yeast, and mold colonies, aided with the color identification for differentiation of bacteria, yeast, and mold where required.
These microfilm plates are
Currently in order to perform enumeration tests, laboratory either needs to prepare culture media from dehydrated powder, sterilize and pour plates or purchase large volumes of petri dishes filled with prepared culture media/agar. This media in petri dishes needs to be stored in a refrigerator until needed, taking up a lot of valuable storage space. With MicroFast microbiological count plates the storage space required is minimal as is the quantity of disposable waste generated per test leading to reduction in costs. MicroFast plates are simple and efficient to use requiring less consumables and minimal training. With an 18 month shelf life the ability to respond to fluctuating demand far exceeds that of traditional media based methods.
During incubation, the enzyme or microbial metabolite reacts with the chromogenic substrate to display a specific color. Through observing the change of color, microbial detection can be realized.
