Compare six Easy Plate films available through Kormay Biomedicals in Canada. Start with the organism your laboratory needs to count, then check the method and sample matrix.

Easy Plate comparison

All six formats are listed by the manufacturer as 100 tests per box (four bags of 25), with unopened storage at 2–8°C. These are purchasing reference conditions; follow the current instructions for your application. For YM-R, extend incubation to 72 hours if growth is insufficient at 48 hours.

What to check before ordering

1. Identify the target organism and sample type.
2. Confirm the method accepted by your laboratory and the relevant validation scope.
3. Check incubator capacity and required temperature.
4. Estimate monthly test volume and request the available lot expiry.
5. Request current instructions and available quality documentation.

EC interpretation limitation

E. coli O157:H7 can develop a colour resembling other coliforms on EC. This film should not be treated as an O157-specific identification test; consult the manufacturer instructions.

Easy Plate or conventional agar?

Easy Plate is supplied as prepared film media. When comparing options, consider preparation work, incubator space, sample compatibility, consumable cost per test and the method your laboratory must follow. A change in format should be evaluated within your laboratory quality system.
