These Paddle Testers have Tryptic Soy Agar with TTC on one side, and Violet Red Bile Agar on the other. Tryptic Soy Agar is used for the enumeration of total aerobic bacteria. Violet Bile Red Agar is a selective and differential medium used in microbiology to detect and enumerate total coliform bacteria, particularly in food and dairy products. It contains bile salts and crystal violet to inhibit gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococci) and allows lactose-fermenting gram-negative bacteria to grow. Lactose fermenters appear as pink to red colonies. Non-lactose fermenters produce colorless colonies.
Simply sample, incubate, and document growth. No extensive training required.
Suitable for water samples, solid surfaces, and non-viscous liquids.
Ready to use with a molded-in grid for easy colony counting.
Provides a simple, on-site means of estimating microbial load changes over time, verifying any control measures that are in place are sufficient, and allowing appropriate actions to be taken if needed.
