Compact Dry BC | Bacillus cerus

Compact Dry BC plates deliver a quick, reliable count of Bacillus cereus in raw ingredients, cooked foods, and ready-to-eat meals—helping processors verify that spore-formers stay below critical limits. Each pre-sterilized, dehydrated plate re-hydrates instantly with 1 mL of sample, so there’s no agar preparation, pouring, or autoclaving.

Safeguard product quality by monitoring B. cereus at each critical control point—from raw materials to finished goods.
