Description

Yeast and Mold Easy Plate YM-R

Easy Plate YM-R is a rapid type prepared media plates for yeast and mold. Colonies are clearly colored in 48 ± 2 hours. A microbial test kit that has a shorter incubation time than agar media. The redox indicator creates purple colonies, making it easy to identify and count colonies even in the presence of food residues. The mold colonies spread widely and form purple colonies with diffuse edges. Yeast colonies form small circles and have defined edges.

The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has evaluated the Easy Plate AC (Aerobic Count) and the New product Easy Plate YM-R (Rapid type-Yeast/Mold). Samples were swabbed by astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) and brought to earth for analysis.
