The Total Bacterial Count gives a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and mold in a sample. It is also known as Total Viable Count (TVC), Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC), Heterotrophic Colony Count (HCC), Aerobic Plate Count (APC), Total Plate Count (TPC), or Standard Plate Count (SPC) & it represents the total bacterial load in a given sample. All our range of dip slides enables you to perform the Total Bacterial Count on one side of the slide to reflect the general hygiene condition of a sample.
