Vibrio parahaemolyticus Count Plate

1. Product Overview

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

Utilizing selective media and specific enzymatic indicators, Vibrio parahaemolyticus colonies produce clear target reactions within 15–24 hours for accurate confirmation. This eliminates traditional agar media preparation while delivering fast, error-free visual interpretation tailored for sanitary inspectors and food enterprises.

2. Key Benefits

• Fast Time-to-Result: Delivers definitive colony counts in just 15–24 hours, saving up to 24–48 hours compared to traditional culture and MPN methods.

• Ready-to-Use & Zero Media Prep: No glass Petri dishes, autoclaving, or agar preparation required—simply inoculate, incubate, and read.

• High Sensitivity & Accuracy: Detection limit as low as 1–10 CFU/mL (g), ensuring compliance with strict international food hygiene standards.

• Unambiguous Visual Reading: Highly specific chromogenic reaction produces vivid typical purple colonies, drastically reducing manual counting errors and false results.

• Space & Cost Efficiency: Ultra-thin paper-film format takes up minimal storage and incubator space, while significantly reducing biohazard disposal waste and shipping costs.

• Flexible Transport & Long Shelf Life: Stable at ambient temperatures (up to 15 days of room temperature shipping without cold chain reliance) with a 18-month shelf life under standard refrigeration.

5. Test Procedure

6. Performance & Validation

• Specificity & Color Differentiation: Vibrio parahaemolyticus colonies are selectively differentiated as distinct purple colonies on the test plate, while most non-target organisms are effectively suppressed. A few growing non-target Vibrios, such as V. vulnificus and V. cholerae, form blue colonies, providing clear color differentiation that minimizes misinterpretation.
