  • No agar preparation.
  • Most Probable Number (MPN) counting range minimizes need flor dilutation.

Rapid

  • Instant media preparation.
  • Less than 2 minute of hands-on time.

Accurate

  • Correlates with U.S. EPA-approved pour-plate method using plate count aga and 48-hour, 35 °C incubation.
  • Simplified procedure minimizes chance of contamination.
  • Less subjective interpretation than pour-plate.
