Compact Dry CF | Coliform

Compact Dry CF plates provide a quick, reliable count of total coliforms. A chromogenic substrate tints coliform colonies blue to blue-green, while growth of non-target flora is largely suppressed and, if present, remains colorless—making enumeration effortless.

Safeguard product quality and comply with food-safety regulations by monitoring coliform levels at each critical control point.

Key Benefits

• AOAC Performance Tested Method – validated for regulatory confidence.
• Simple “open–inoculate–incubate” workflow – pre-filled, pre-sterilized dishes eliminate media prep and autoclaving.
• Clear, distinctive colony colour – blue/blue-green colonies stand out against a colourless background for fast counting and photo-documentation.
• Broad sample compatibility – proven for raw meat, shellfish, ready-to-eat meals, cosmetics, and purified water.
• Ambient storage & stackable design – stable at 1 – 30 °C; low-profile, rigid, stackable plates maximise incubator space.
