- Total Viable Count (TVC) refers to all aerobic microorganisms present in a sample and does not have specific growth requirements.
- The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulation considers Total Count as one of the release parameters for food (frozen, chilled, precooked, and prepared food), pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical samples.
- A Total Count test is required to verify that a food or beverage sample is free of microbial pathogens to guarantee food safety.
- This non-specific test detects a broad range of pathogens but without direct identification.
1. Advantages of using CompactDry TCR to test TVC levels in water, food, and other products
- The ready-to-use CompactDry TCR (Total Count Rapid) plate is a dehydrated standard nutrient medium plate for total viable bacterial count in food and water.
- Bacterial colonies are coloured red due to the triphenyl tetrazolium chloride redox indicator. Colonies are easy to identify and differentiate from possible food residues.
