Compact Dry AQ

Safety Data Sheet
Guía Técnica
Description:

Compact Dry is a simple and safe procedure for determining and quantifying microorganisms in foodstuffs, cosmetics and other raw materials, including pharmaceuticals. Compact Dry AQ - microorganism chromogenic plates are ready to use and are suitable for both in-process and final product controls.

According to the awareness established by the World Health Organization (WHO), drinking water and process water must be free of contaminating microorganisms. Similar to food samples, the total microbiological count of water, called heterotrophic plate count (HPC), must be determined. HPC includes all microorganisms, including bacteria and yeast and molds that require a high carbon source.
