MC-Media Pad^® CC

Presence of coliform bacteria in the sample grow as blue-green/blue coloured colonies on test pad.

MC MEDIA PAD^® enables the detection of total coliform count in a specific sample using a special medium composition and specific chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase and important indicator of hygiene quality in foods and beverages. While improving the workflow, it also ensures accurate and reliable results.

The MC MEDIA PAD^® offers a convenient solution for rapidly and routinely testing microbial contamination in raw and in-process food and beverage materials, as well as finished products. The MC-Media Pad^® is a pre-sterilized, ready-to-use dry culture device, simplifying testing and minimizing the quantity of waste. MC-Media Pad^® is composed of a unique adhesive sheet, a test pad coated with medium and water absorption polymer, and a transparent cover film to automatically re-constitute the media. The MC-Media Pad^® is coated with selective medium and chromogenic substrate for specific detection. Once the liquid sample is inoculated onto the test pad, the sample diffuses through the whole pad by capillary action.
