Plate Count Agar - This agar offers a general count. PCA will detect viable organisms in food and water. It is especially popular for use in the dairy industry.
MacConkey3 Agar - This special formulation of the MacConkey3 agar detects colonies of E Coli that can be viewed if placed under a UV lamp. This works because the agar detects ß-glucuronidase (enzyme). It is worth remembering that oganisms other than E Coli may also be ß-glucuronidase positive. This agar also shows growth for coliforms in general. These colonies can be viewed without a UV lamp.
How to use the SCM dipslide
Simply remove the dipslide and immerse in the sample for approx 10 seconds. Remove dipslide and allow to drain for a few seconds, then replace the slide back into the tube and incubate for a minimum of 24 hours (up to a maximum of 48 hours).
A comparison chart is included so you can easily compare your results.
