General description

SimPlate for Yeast and Mold (YM) method is used for the detection and quantification of yeast and mold in foods. The medium/sample mixture is dispensed into a SimPlate device and incubated. The total yeast and mold count is determined by counting the fluorescent
wells and referring to the SimPlate Conversion table. The SimPlate device is packaged separately.

Features and Benefits

  • Proprietary chromogenic media and patented plating device with isolation wells combine to produce easily counted results and eliminate problems typically associated with mold overgrowth.
  • While other methods require duplicate plating of samples, SimPlate has been validated to provide equivalent results with just a single plate. Combined with the reduction of necessary sample dilutions, made possible by the broad counting range of the plate (1-738), SimPlate reduces the number of tests required for each sample, helping to reduce overall testing costs.

Components

2 packages of 50 single-test vials (66004-100), or 1 package of 50 multi-test (10 tests/vial) vials (66004-500)

Binary Detection Technology®
