This assay is used to determine the number of anaerobic (growth without oxygen) mesophilic (growth at body temperatures i.e. 35 C) bacteria contained in a food product or ingredient.
No information about potential food borne pathogens can be inferred from anaerobic plate counts. Some foods (raw meats, raw commodities) can naturally contain high levels of anaerobic mesophilic bacteria.
While our sales and customer service team are happy to answer general testing questions, consultations typically start at a rate of $250 per 30 minutes regarding the interpretation of reported test results or questions about our test methods. We cannot consult on regulations, tolerance limits, or claims.
We make every effort to keep our methods and detection limits up to date according to the latest standards and qualifications. If you have any questions regarding the limit of detection/quantification or method references, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615.
Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
