Plate Count Agar is recommended for the determination of plate counts of microorganisms in milk and dairy products using pour plate technique as per BIS (IS:5402-1969). It is formulated as described by Buchbinder et al, and is recommended by APHA and FDA. Trytone in the medium, provides nitrogeneous and carbonaceous compounds, long chain amino acids, and other essential nutrients. Yeast extract supplies Vitamin B complex. APHA recommends the use of pour plate technique. The samples are diluted and appropriate dilutions are added in Petri plates. Sterile molten agar is added to these plates and plates are rotated gently to ensure uniform mixing of the sample with agar. The poured plate count method is preferred to the surface inoculation method, since it gives higher results. Plate Count Agar is also suitable for enumerating bacterial count of sterile rooms.
