MC-Media Pad® tests are designed for convenient and reliable testing of E.coli, Yeast and Mold, Coliform, Staphylococcus Aureus, or aerobic microbial contamination in food and beverage products. MC-Media Pad® for testing of coliform, aerobic microbial contamination and yeast & mold is now available in the US and Canada.

The pads have a multilayer structure, which allows the sample to diffuse into the pad evenly without intervention. The use of specific indicators and chromogenic media means that the read-out is clear and rapid.

  • Shelf life of up to 3 years
