Enterobacteriaceae Detecting Plate

1. Product Overview

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

Utilizing a specialized enzymatic chromogenic reaction, Enterobacteriaceae hydrolyze the substrate to yield distinct color reactions for rapid detection. This eliminates labor-intensive traditional media preparation (boiling, autoclaving, pouring plates) while streamlining food, water, and environmental hygiene testing.

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 pink and dark 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 12-month shelf life under standard refrigeration.
