Unlike most Total Plate Count media on the market, R-CARD^® rapid tests require almost no additional equipment and offer an extremely easy user experience. Simply lift the R-CARD^® Total Count clear film and deposit 1 mL of your liquid sample on the card. Then release the clear film so it can fall back on top of the card, covering your sample. Within 1-3 minutes, the liquid sample will solidify between the two layers. This prevents it from dripping or leaking, making R-CARD^® rapid tests incredibly easy to transport and use in the field.

• Completely self-contained, requiring almost no additional equipment
• Extremely accurate and easy-to-understand results
• Fast results in 14-16 hours (incubated)
• Free technical support on any step of the process
• Colonies will show up as pale/dark red dots
