Compact Dry EC (E. coli & Coliform) Escherichia coli is a coliform which is found in the gut of warm-blooded animals making it an excellent indicator for fecal contamination. Not all E. coli are pathogenic but there are strains which can be considered as opportunistic bacteria infecting an immunocompromised host. Testing for the presence of…
Compact Dry YM (Yeast & Mold) Yeasts and molds (YM are spore forming microorganism. These spores are resistant to harsh conditions like extreme pH, drought, and extreme temperature. YM is the index of the cleanliness of environmental bioaerosol in different production plants. Failure to comply with the tolerable amount of YM in the production area…
Compact Dry YMR (Rapid Yeast & Mold) Yeasts and molds (YM are spore forming microorganism. These spores are resistant to harsh conditions like extreme pH, drought, and extreme temperature. YM is the index of the cleanliness of environmental bioaerosol in different production plants. Failure to comply with the tolerable amount of YM in the production…
Compact Dry X-SA (Staphylococcus Aureus) Staphylococcus aureus is a common human microflora, it can naturally be found on the skin, nose, and hair. Due to this, it is commonly used as index of food handlers’ personal hygiene. Thus, high staphylococcal population in food system indicates poor hygiene and sanitation. They are normally harmless but at…
