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. Incubation: Achieve clear and easily identifiable colonies within 24 ± 1 hours
- significantly reducing the typical waiting time for results compared to traditional agar methods.
- The use of Easy Plate only requires a single sheet, whereas the surface plating method typically needs three or more plates.
2. Shelf Life: Can be stored unopened for up to 12 months at 2-8℃
ensuring long-term storage without compromising the quality and efficacy of the product.
3. High correlation with the plate count agar
(r = 0.93)
providing reliable results for the enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae across various food samples.
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.
