Description
Easy Plate EB is a specialised prepared media plate to cultivate Enterobacteriaceae. It comprises Violet Red Bile Glucose (VRBG) media and a gelling agent soluble in cold water, aiding in the enumeration of colonies. Colonies can be readily distinguished within 24±1 hours. Easy Plate EB is available in 100-test packages, divided into four separate bags of 25 tests each. Its shelf life is 12 months when stored unopened at 2-8℃.
Features
1. Easy to distinguish bright-coloured colonies in just 24 hours
- Identifying is simpler in comparison to agar count media due to the colour change
- The use of Easy Plate only requires a single sheet, whereas the surface plating method typically needs three or more plates.
2. High correlation with the plate count agar
High correlation with the VRBG agar in various foods.
Colouring of Plate Surface
The gelled medium contains the pH indicator neutral red (red colonies) and crystal violet that causes EB colonies to turn red.
