E. coli STEC Count Plate
Cat NO.: 21208 | Brand: FSTest
1. Product Overview
FSTest E.coli STEC 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 Escherichia coli STEC (E. coli STEC) in food, beverage, and environmental samples.
Utilizing proprietary selective media and specific enzymatic indicators, target STEC colonies form distinct, easily distinguishable colored colonies during incubation. This eliminates traditional agar media preparation while streamlining testing into a single step, delivering clear, error-free visual interpretation.
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-red 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.
