Compact Dry ETB | Enterobacteriaceae

Compact Dry ETB plates deliver a fast, reliable count of Enterobacteriaceae — a key hygiene and release parameter across food, beverage, and health-product manufacturing. Each pre-sterilized dish can be instantly rehydrated with 1 mL of sample. Target organisms appear as red to red-purple colonies, making interpretation straightforward.

Compact Dry ETB streamlines Enterobacteriaceae testing, giving you rapid, easy-to-read results that keep production moving and compliance on track.

Key Benefits

• AOAC Performance Tested Method – independently validated for a wide range of matrices.
• True “open → inoculate → incubate” workflow – no agar prep, spreading, or autoclaving; results in 24 h.
• Clear chromogenic read-out – distinct red/purple colonies eliminate the need for gas-bubble checks or secondary dyes.
• Ambient-stable & space-saving – store at 1 – 30 °C; low-profile plates stack neatly to maximize incubator capacity.
• Versatile industry coverage – ideal for routine QC in food and beverage plants, personal-care manufacturing, nutraceuticals, and environmental labs.
  

Incubation parameters

pH tip: Adjust the product (or 1:10 dilution) to pH 6–7 with 0.1 – 1 N NaOH (acidic) or HCl (alkaline) to ensure optimal colony development.

Performance

Countable range: 1 – 300 CFU per plate (1 mL inoculum).
