Peel Plate SA Microbial Test for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus
– In Stock Microbial Tests –
Peel Plate SA Microbial Test kits are used for testing liquid foods, solid foods, and environmental sponge samples.* The purple-colored colonies of coagulase-positive S. aureus are easily distinguished against the light background of the Peel Plate and easily differentiated from the green and green-blue colonies of most coagulase-negative Staphylococci and related Enterococci species.
S. aureus bacteria appear within 24 hours, with an additional 24 hours for purple colony presumptive positive determination (48 hours total) at 35 to 37°C. Tests with no growth at 24 hours are considered negative for S. aureus. Presumptive positive colonies are confirmed Staph. aureus following FDA-BAM procedures for verifying the enzymes catalase and coagulase positive.
*Food with cultures requires the Peel Plate SA Microbial Test for Cultured Dairy.
