Explorer 2.0
Description
EXPLORER is based on the inhibition of microbial growth. Each tube/well contains agar medium spread with Geobacillusthermophilespores and a pH indicator.
When the test is incubated at 65ºC, spores germinate and cells grow producing acid and changing the agar pH.
Variations of pH will produce changes of the agar color from blue / purple to yellowish.When samples contain inhibitors at higher concentrations than the limit of detection, microorganisms will not grow and neither colour changes will be observed.
