Compact Dry VP | Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Compact Dry VP plates provide a one-step screen for the three Vibrio species of greatest concern—V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, and V. cholerae. Each pre-sterilized dish contains selective agents and twin chromogenic substrates. Target organisms develop with species-specific colors that make interpretation effortless:

All other flora are largely suppressed, so counts stay clear even in complex seafood matrices. 

Compact Dry VP streamlines Vibrio monitoring—delivering clear, species-differentiated results in under 24 hours, so you can release seafood products with confidence and keep safety programs on target.

Key Benefits

• True “open → inoculate → incubate” workflow – no agar prep, spreading, or autoclaving.
• Distinct chromogenic read-out – colour coding lets operators differentiate key Vibrio pathogens at a glance.
• Optimised for high-salt samples – ideal for raw shellfish, fish fillets, brines, and coastal-water swabs.
• Ambient-stable & space-saving – store at 1 – 30 °C; slim plates stack neatly to maximise incubator capacity.
• Supports HACCP & export testing – helps demonstrate compliance with zero-tolerance or low-limit Vibrio specifications.

Incubation parameters

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

Performance

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