What is Colony Counting?

Colony counting is crucial to various applications, including environmental monitoring, food safety testing, pharmaceutical quality control, and research. The information this provides allows us to determine the concentration of these organisms within the products we use and consume.

Colony counting can increase the quality of products such as paints, cosmetics, and medicines when used correctly. The ability to quantify these incredibly small and seemingly invisible organisms and take corrective action allows us to extend the shelf life of food products and even avoid complications from medical procedures.
