READY AND EASY TO USE PORTABLE PLATE: PREPARATION OF MEDIUM IS NOT REQUIRED, WHICH ELIMINATES WASTE OF MEDIUM AS WELL AS STERILIZING APPARATUS TO PREPARE THE MEDIUM. DETECTION OF COLONIES ON PLATE IS SIMPLE AND CLEAR. SINGLE COLONIES ON THE PLATE CAN BE ISOLATED FOR FURTHER IDENTIFICATION TESTS DESCRIPTION Compact Dry AQ is a ready to use, rehydrated plate with indicator for the detection and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria in water. The »ready-to-use« Compact Dry AQ plate from HyServe combines the properties of chromogenic dry media and gel contact plates. The plate contains a nutrient-poor medium for determining the colony count of heterotrophic organisms in treated drinking water and ultra-pure water. Compact Dry AQ offers a culture medium for bacteria which have become adapted to extremely nutrient-poor conditions in particular. Compact Dry AQ enables the very simple cultivation of heterotrophic bacteria from drinking water samples.
