Rapid Microbiology Testing

Rapid Microbiology testing delivers high quality results fast

Rapid microbiology methods are changing the testing options and time frames for food producers. Instead of a turnaround time of 5 - 7 days, accurate results can be ready in 1 - 2 days. 

Fast turnaround times can mean getting products to market faster. Or allow you to take action quickly if a positive result is confirmed. 

We offer fast, accurate, confirmation-free testing for the enumeration of Bacillus cereus, E. coli, Coliforms and Enterobacteriaceae using BioRad’s RAPID’Chromogenic media range(external link) . Read more:
