Compact Dry ETC | Enterococci

Compact Dry ETC plates give you a quick, reliable count of Enterococcus spp.—a key hygiene indicator across food, beverage, and personal-care manufacturing. Each pre-sterilized dish can be instantly rehydrated with 1 mL of sample. Target organisms appear as blue to blue-green colonies, making interpretation straightforward.

Compact Dry ETC streamlines Enterococcus testing, giving you easy-to-read results that keep sanitation programs on track and products safe.

Key Benefits

• AOAC Performance Tested Method – validated for regulatory confidence.
• True “open → inoculate → incubate” workflow – no media prep, spreading, or autoclaving.
• Distinct chromogenic read-out – blue/green colonies eliminate second-step confirmation for routine QC.
• Ambient-stable & stackable – store at 1 – 30 °C; slim plates maximise incubator capacity.
• Broad industry coverage – ideal for routine hygiene monitoring in dairy, meat, produce, fermented foods, beverages, and health-product plants.
• Supports GMP & sanitation programs – high Enterococcus counts flag post-process contamination or inadequate cleaning.
  

Incubation parameters
