Coliform Count Plate(Gel-Type)

1. Product Overview

FSTest Coliform Count Plate(Gel-Type)  is a ready-to-use, single-use dehydrated culture medium system engineered for the rapid, precise, and cost-effective detection and enumeration of Coliform in food, beverage, and environmental samples.

By leveraging lactose fermentation, coliforms produce acid to form distinct red colonies while generating gas trapped under the top film for positive confirmation. This eliminates the labor-intensive process of traditional agar media preparation (boiling, autoclaving, pouring plates) while providing clear, error-free visual interpretation.

2. Key Benefits

High-Load Capacity: While traditional plates often face counting difficulties with concentrated samples, FSTest maintains clear visibility and readability even with high-load samples up to 500 CFU.

Superior Diffusion Control: Our advanced gel formulation ensures zero diffusion of colonies, preventing overlapping and ensuring distinct, isolated red spots for precise counting.

Enhanced Readability & Consistency: Coliforms are easily identified as red colonies associated with trapped gas bubbles. This high contrast reduces operator error and improves consistency between different users.

Automation Friendly: The uniform colony distribution and clear backgrounds make these plates better suited for automated colony counters compared to paper-based alternatives.
