Alternative method for food microbiological testing using simplified sheet media! It actually contributes to cost reduction as well.
The "MC-Media Pad" (formerly known as Sanita-kun) is a simplified microbial detection medium that serves as an alternative to agar media. It consists of a sheet-like medium layered with a medium for detecting target microorganisms and a water-soluble polymer non-woven fabric. Since there is no need to prepare agar media, rapid detection is achieved. Testing can be conducted without high levels of expertise or expensive equipment, allowing for inspections to be performed anytime and anywhere. Additionally, due to the optimization of microbial detection technology, the cultivation time is shorter compared to traditional agar media, enabling faster detection. This product is certified by international certifications such as AOAC-PTM, AOAC-OMA, and MicroVal, and is included in the food hygiene inspection guidelines, which are considered the standard for food microbial testing in Japan, ensuring safe usage. 【Features】 ■ Easy to use as it spreads naturally with a pipette ■ Medium optimized for good bacterial coloration ■ Contributes to reduced cultivation time ■ Different color tapes for each microorganism help minimize operator errors ■ Achieves simple microbial testing compliant with HACCP *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
