KangarooSci ® Lactic Acid Bacteria Count Plate is a sample-ready-culture medium system which contains readymade LAB medium, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent indicator and selective inhibitor. It can be used in direct counting of lactic acid bacteria colonies after 48h incubation. The result is consistent with the corresponding ISO standards and other commercial counting plates.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are heterogenous group of bacteria which plays a significant role in a variety of fermentation processes.
Key features of KangarooSci ® Lactic acid bacteria Count Plate
- Visual countable result in 48 hours
- Comparable performance & results with other commercial count plate
- Cost effective and readily available.
- All red colonies shall be counted.
- Applicable for food and beverage industry
