Hach Company Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) Agar Tubes, pk/20
The heterotrophic plate count (HPC), formerly known as the standard plate count, is a procedure for estimating the number of live heterotrophic bacteria in water. This test can provide useful information about water quality and supporting data on the significance of coliform test results. High concentrations of the general bacterial population may hinder the recovery of coliforms . The HPC is useful in judging the efficiency of various treatment processes for both drinking water and swimming pools, and for checking the quality of finished water in a distribution system.Parameter: Heterotrophic Plate Count. Method: m-HPC (MF). Citations: SM 18th 9215 A, D. Hach Method: 8074.

S2 Media 15x100mm Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract Agar with Cephalothin, Colistin, Vancomycin, and Cycloheximide (BCYE-CCVC), 10/pack
Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract Agar with Cephalothin, Colistin, Vancomycin, and Cycloheximide (BCYE-CCVC) is a selective and non-differential medium for the isolation and presumptive identification of Legionella. Bopp et al. developed BCYE-CCVC agar in 1981. A BCYE Agar base is supplemented with antibiotics (cephalothin, colistin, vancomycin, and cycloheximide) to inhibit competing bacteria and fungi. The addition of these selective agents enhanced the recovery of Legionella pneumophila, particularly when combined with acid-wash pretreatment to reduce microbial contamination in water samples.• Product meets CLSI, EPA, CDC, ISO, and SMWW reference methods and performance criteria.• BCYE-CCVC should be used by trained professionals within a laboratory setting. • For in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.• Product is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of disease or other human conditions.

S2 Media 15x100mm MacConkey Agar with Levofloxacin-16 and Ampicillin-100, 10/pack
MacConkey (MAC) Agar with Levofloxacin and Cefotaxime is a selective and differential medium used for the detection and isolation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic used to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive organisms. Ampicillin is a ß-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane. Administration with ß-lactamase cleaves the ß-lactam ring of Ampicillin and inactivates it.• Product (base) meets AOAC, BAM, CLSI, and Harmonized USP/EP/JP, NF, SM-Dairy, and SMWW reference methods and performance criteria.• MacConkey Agar should be used by trained professionals within a laboratory setting. • For in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.• Product is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of disease or other human conditions.• Contains 16µg/mL Levofloxacin and 100µg/mL Ampicillin.
S2 Media 15x100mm Chameleon™ Tryptic Soy Agar with X-Gluc Sodium Salt (TSA w/X-Gluc)
Chameleon™ Tryptic Soy Agar with X-Gluc Sodium Salt (TSA w/X-Gluc) differential chromogenic growth medium recommended for the detection of β-glucuronidase (GUD) activity, particularly for identifying Escherichia coli. Bacteria that produce β-glucuronidase will cleave X-Gluc, producing an insoluble blue compound. (These colonies appear blue to blue-green on the agar.)• Product base complies with AOAC, BAM, CLSI, ISO, Harmonized USP/EP/JP, SMWW, and USDA reference methods and performance criteria.• TSA should be used by trained professionals within a laboratory setting.• For in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.• Product is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of disease or other human conditions.• X-Gluc (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-glucuronide) sodium salt
S2 Media 15x100mm (Wallerstein Laboratory) WL Nutrient (WLN) Agar, 10/pack
(Wallerstein Laboratory) WL Nutrient (WLN) Agar is a selective and non-differential medium used for the cultivation of yeasts, molds, and bacteria encountered in brewing and industrial fermentation processes. WLN was developed by Green and Gray while studying various fermentation processes. An exhaustive study examining methods of fermentation control procedures in worts, beers, liquid yeasts, and similar fermentation products led to the development of WL Nutrient Medium. At a pH of 5.5, counts of viable baker’s yeast will grow. Plates are incubated aerobically to obtain a total count of yeasts present.• Product meets ASBC and ASM reference methods and performance criteria.• WLN Agar should be used by trained professionals within a laboratory setting. • Product is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of disease or other human conditions.
S2 Media 15x100mm Modified Letheen Agar with Tween 80 (MLAT), 10/pack
Modified Letheen Agar with Tween 80 (MLAT) is a non-selective medium utilized to determine the antimicrobial activity of quaternary ammoniums compounds and is recommended for the microbiological testing of cosmetics. Weber and Black described the value of a highly nutritional solid medium containing neutralizing agents for quaternary ammonium compounds in sanitizers in 1948. The addition of Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 to Tryptone Glucose Extract (TGE) Agar resulted in a medium that effectively neutralized quaternary ammonium compounds to test germicidal activity. Total neutralization of disinfectants is critical as disinfectant residues can result in false negative (no-growth) test results. • Product meets APHA, BAM, CLSI, SM-Dairy, SMWW, and USP-NF reference methods and performance criteria.• MLTA should be used by trained professionals within a laboratory setting. • Product is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of disease or other human conditions.
