Description

Description générale

Plate Count skimmed milk agar is a non-selective medium for the enumeration of viable micro-organisms in milk and dairy products. The medium does not contain any inhibitors or indicators, and it is relatively rich in nutrients. The added skimmed milk is also free from inhibitory substances. The enzymatic digest of casein (tryptone) is a nitrogen source containing a high level of free amino acids, and yeast extract supplies the B-complex vitamins. Glucose provides an energy source for the growth of bacteria, while agar is the solidifying agent.

Application

Plate Count skimmed milk agar is suitable for the determination of the total microbial content from milk and dairy products.

Caractéristiques et avantages

• GranuCult^® offers superior granulated culture media
• Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment
• Excellent wettability, solubility, and free-flowing properties
• Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
• High batch-to-batch reproducibility
• Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
• High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
• Granulation technology allows many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately
