M-(HPC) Heterotrophic Plate Count Agar Base is recommended for the enumeration of heterotrophic microorganisms from water samples using membrane filter technique. It is used to measure the heterotrophic microorganism population in drinking water and other media. With added glycerol it is recommended for the detection of heterotrophic organisms of potable water, swimming pool and other waters. It can also be employed for the determination of Heterotrophic Plate Count by the membrane filter method.
