MC-Media Pad is a product that has AOAC-PTM certification, which is an international certification, and is also listed in the Food Sanitation Inspection Guideline, which is a guideline for Japanese food microbiological inspection, and has a high correlation with so-called official method. We will continue to acquire MicroVal certification, which is an ISO alternative method certification.
MC-Media Pad can be inspected without any specialization or expensive equipment, and can be inspected anytime and anywhere.
MC-Media Pad is a dry sheet-like ready-to-use medium that can be stored for a long term with a quality guarantee period of 1 to 3 years. (New and improved products will be marketed for a period of 1 to 2 years, with extensions to be made gradually.)
By optimizing the microorganism detection technology, the culture time is shorter than that of the conventional agar medium and more rapid detection is possible. For example, the number of general viable bacteria can be measured in 24 hours with the MC-Media Pad against in 48 hours by the agar medium method, and the number of fungi can be measured in 2-3 days with the MC-Media Pad against in 5-7 days with the agar medium.
MC-Media Pad is a sheet-shaped, dry, ready-made microorganism detection medium with a non-woven fabric. Compared with the conventional method, it is easier and has various advantages.
Since MC-Media Pad is a sheet-shaped medium,
the amount of waste is about
one-twentieth of the petri dish
of the conventional agar medium,
which contributes to the reduction
of disposal costs and is an
environmentally friendly product.
・A large inspection room is not required because many materials
like the conventional method are unnecessary.
・MC-Media Pad is thin with a height of about 1 mm,
so it does not take up work space even when stacked during inspection work.
・A small incubator is sufficient for culturing
because it is space-saving even when stacked.
