CompactDry TCR - Total Count Rapid

CompactDry TCR - Total Count Rapid

CompactDry TCR is a rapid medium containing nutrient standard agar and is used for total viable bacterial count. Bacterial colonies are coloured red after 24 hours of incubation due to the redox indicator tetrazolium salt. Colonies are easy to identify and differentiate from possible food residues.

Total Viable Count (TVC) refers to all aerobic microorganisms present in a sample and does not have specific growth requirements.

The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulation considers Total Count as one of the release parameters for food (frozen, chilled, precooked, and prepared food), pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical samples.

A Total Count test is required to verify that a food or beverage sample is free of microbial pathogens to guarantee food safety.

This non-specific test detects a broad range of pathogens but without direct identification.
