Kikkoman’s Easy Plates have been granted Microval certification after successful validation studies conducted at Campden BRI, in accordance with ISO 16140-2:2016.

The validation process has been completed for four distinct target organisms. These include:

• Aerobic Bacteria (AC)
• Coliforms (CC)
• E. coli/Coliforms (EC)
• Staphylococcus aureus (SA)

The validation process for the Easy Plate Yeast and Mould is currently in progress. It is a big achievement for easy plates to get MicroVal Certification for food microbiology.

What are Easy Plates?

These are dry film plates that consist of pre-prepared microbiological culture media. Easy plates can be rehydrated by adding the sample and covering it with a film. After incubation, the plates can be read manually or with an automated system. The distinct color colonies on the plates indicate specific organisms based on the type of plate used. The Easy Plate AC method serves as an alternative to traditional microbiological methods (such as AOAC Official Method 966.23 and US Food and Drug Officials Bacteriological Analytical Manual Chapter 3) for assessing the concentration of aerobic bacteria in food.

Benefits of Easy Plates

There are several benefits of easy plates. A few of them include the elimination of media preparation in the laboratory, reduced storage needs, and decreased space requirements in the incubator. The validation studies encompassed a wide variety of food types. Additionally, for Easy Plates AC and EC, the scope extended to encompass animal feed, pet food, and environmental samples as well.
