Staphylococcus aureus Count Plate

1. Product Overview 

FSTest Staphylococcus aureus 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 Staphylococcus aureus in food, beverage, and environmental samples.

Formulated with imported selective media and highly specific chromogenic substrates, the Staphylococcus aureus Count Plate is an all-in-one rapid testing solution. It enables reliable pathogen detection in just 15–24 hours, eliminating complex traditional preparation and dramatically streamlining your lab workflow.

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 3–10 CFU/mL (g), ensuring compliance with strict international food hygiene standards.

• Unambiguous Visual Reading: Highly specific chromogenic reaction produces vivid blue-green 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.
