Easy Plate EC is a microbiological culture device made up of a waterproof sheet, a readymade dry medium on the sheet and a transparent cover over the medium. The Easy Plate EC method is intended to indicate the level of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria in selected food products. It is compact, easy to use, and reduces the total amount of waste produced during testing. The Easy Plate EC method has been granted AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested MethodsSM (031601) for raw beef, raw pork, raw frozen pork, raw lamb, raw salmon, frankfurter sausage and cooked ham. During the preparation of the plates for incubation, no additional tools are required. This due to the hydrophobic ring around the culture area, which helps with the automatic spreading of the sample on the culture area.

Easy Plate AC is a microbiological culture device made up of a waterproof sheet, a readymade dry medium on the sheet and a transparent cover over the medium. The Easy Plate AC method is intended to indicate the level of aerobic bacteria in food products as an alternative to the Microbiological Methods (AOAC Official Method 966.23 and US Food and Drug Officials Bacteriological Analytical Manual Chapter 3). It is compact, easy to use, and reduces the total amount of waste produced during testing. The Easy Plate AC method has been granted AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested Methods SM (041302) for raw beef, raw ground beef, roast beef, raw ground pork, Chinese barbeque pork, bacon, ham, cooked pork sausage, frankfurter, raw chicken, raw ground chicken, lettuce, blueberries, raw shrimp, raw salmon, raw tuna, pasteurized milk, natural cheese and dry pet food. During preparation of the plates for incubation, no additional tools are required. This due to the hydrophobic ring around the culture area, which helps with the automatic spreading of the sample on the culture area.

Easy Plate SA is a microbiological culture device made up of a waterproof sheet, a readymade dry medium on the sheet and a transparent cover over the medium. medium. The Easy Plate SA method is intended to indicate the level of Staphylococcus aureus in food products. It is compact and easy to use and reduces the total amount of waste produced during testing. The Easy Plate SA method has been granted AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested Methods SM (111703) for eleven food matrices: raw raw ground beef, raw lamb, cooked ham, raw salmon, frozen prawn, fresh chilled pasta, pasteurized milk, natural cheese, cream puff and potato salad. During preparation of the plates for incubation, no additional tools are required. This due to the hydrophobic ring around the culture area, which helps with the automatic spreading of the sample on the culture area.

Easy Plate CC is a microbiological plate method consisting of a waterproof paper with a pre-made desiccant medium and a transparent cover over the medium. The Easy Plate CC method is used to determine the level of coliform bacteria in food and is an alternative to the Violet Red Bile Agar method in the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA BAM) Bacteriological Analytical Manual: Enumeration of Escherichia coli and the Coliform Bacteria . The plates are compact, easy to use and reduce the overall amount of waste generated when using the test. The Easy-Plate-CC method was recognized by the AOAC Research Institute as “Performance Tested Methods SM” (for raw ground pork, raw bulbs, raw ground chicken, raw tuna fillet, raw salmon fillet, raw prawns, fresh peeled bananas, freshly sliced pineapple and freshly sliced apples). No additional tools are required to prepare the plates for incubation. This is thanks to the hydrophobic ring around the culture surface, which helps in automatically spreading the sample over the culture surface.
