The Platinum Microbe Testing Kit offers a comprehensive array of media types that allows the brewer to detect a wide scope of microbes known to cause contamination during the brewing process. The kit detects wild yeasts, aerobic bacteria (lives with oxygen) and anaerobic bacteria (lives without oxygen).
The Platinum Microbe Testing Kit provides five (5) sets of three (3) plates each (15 plates). Each set contains a plate for yeast (quad-plate), aerobic bacteria (bi-plate), and anaerobic bacteria (bi-plate) to allow the brewer to test up to 5 points of possible contamination. If contamination is detected, samples or plates can be sent to the Brew Plate Laboratory for microbial identification.
