Quality Indicator Testing Devices

Indicator organism imply the presence of spoilage organisms, pathogens, and quality indicators that can verify the overall hygienic conditions of a product.

Alternative and Rapid Culture Media Methods

Alternative and rapid culture media are efficient methods for quick indicator organism testing results.

Our MC-Media Pad® convenient culture media tests are designed for indicator organism testing and hygiene monitoring in food and beverage production. The pads are coated with growth media and chromogenic substrates for specific detection, allowing faster results and improved read-outs. This convenient method complies with international food and beverage standards (AOAC-PTM, AOAC-OMA, ISO 16140). The MC-Media Pad® improves your workflow and reduces required storage, incubation and waste capacity.
