Plate Count Agar (Standard Methods Agar) is used for the enumeration of bacteria in water, wastewater, food, and dairy products in a laboratory setting. Plate Count Agar is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. This formula conforms to ISO 4833-1&2:2013, ISO 17410:2001, American Public Health Association (APHA), Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual. Plate Count Agar (Standard Methods Agar) is free from selective supplements and relatively rich in nutrients, making it ideal for the enumeration of viable organisms, either following a pour plate method, or a surface plate method which can be coupled with a spiral plater.
