Supplement R, SimPlate^®

Supplement R is an additional reagent for use in the SimPlate^® Coliform & E. coli. SimPlate^® Binary Detection Technology combines proprietary media and a patented plating device to provide fast and accurate quantitative results for key groups of indicator organisms. Defined substrates incorporated into the media are utilized to detect multiple enzymes and redox reactions associated with the target organisms resulting in chromogenic or fluorescent changes to the media, providing easy-to-read results. Supplement R is added to aid the recovery of coliforms from high microbial samples.

Supplement R is added to SimPlate^® trays to recover the coliforms from high microbial samples for the detection in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples without the need for optimization of reaction and cycle conditions.
