Aerobic Count Plate (Gel-Type) Rapid & Accurate Enumeration of Total Viable Count (TVC) | Ready-to-Use Cat NO.: 21111 Brand: FSTest |
18–24 hrs Fast Results | Up to 500 CFU / Plate Range | Gel Matrix Superior Clarity | Ready-to-Use Zero Media Prep |
The FSTest Aerobic Count Plate (Gel-Type) is a ready-to-use, sample-ready culture medium system engineered for fast, reliable, and precise enumeration of Total Viable Count (TVC) in food safety, raw materials, water, and environmental monitoring.
Integrating standard nutrient medium with a cold water-soluble absorbent gel matrix and a high-contrast dehydrogenase indicator (TTC), this gel-type plate eliminates media preparation while significantly enhancing microbial visualization. Bacterial colonies develop in distinct clear red colors, converting routine quality control into a high-performance, streamlined workflow.
Superior Gel Clarity & Range: Maintains high visual clarity even under high sample loads, supporting accurate counts up to 500 CFU/plate without colony overlapping issues seen in paper-based alternatives.
High-Contrast Visualization: TTC indicator stains viable colonies vivid red against a clear gel backdrop for effortless reading.
Rapid Turnaround: Deliver verified bacterial count results within 18–24 hours.
Ready-to-Use Workflow: Pre-sterilized and disposable—no agar weighing, autoclaving, or pouring required.
Compact & Eco-Friendly: Drastically reduces storage, incubator space requirements, and laboratory waste compared to conventional Petri dishes.

Designed for the rapid and accurate enumeration of aerobic bacteria in food safety and environmental testing:
STEP 1 Dilute Mix 25 g/mL of sample with 225 mL of sterile diluent, then perform serial dilutions (1:10, 1:100, etc.) as needed. | STEP 2 Inoculate & Incubate Lift the top film, add 1 mL of sample to the center, and replace film carefully. Incubate at 36 ± 1 °C for 18–24 hours. | STEP 3 Interpret Count clear red colonies visually or via an automated colony reader. Multiply by dilution factor to calculate final TVC. |
The Gel-Type Aerobic Count Plate is engineered to deliver high performance comparable to reference culture methods:
Gel Matrix Uniformity: Superior gel consistency prevents sample diffusion issues and ensures uniform colony formation.
Enhanced Reading Range: Eliminates counting errors common in traditional paper-based methods when handling complex or high-concentration matrix samples.
Reliable Correlation: Strong correlation with standard plate count agar methods across diverse food matrices.
MC1000 Automatic Colony Counter: Enables high-speed colony recognition, batch scanning, and digital data archiving.
Microbial Test Sampling Box: Portable kit tailored for field surface and water sampling.
Constant Temp Incubator: Standard 36°C laboratory incubator support.
