The R-CARD^® rapid test method was developed and patented by Dr. Jonathan Roth of Roth Bioscience, LLC to quickly and conveniently detect and enumerate microorganisms. The process involves no liquid media, agar, or petri dishes. Everything you need to produce rapid and accurate test results is in a single test card. Once a liquid sample has been placed under the thin top layer, the sample gels in a matter of minutes to eliminate the risk of leakage or dripping. This allows for easy transport, both to and from the testing location, giving you the peace of mind that collected or conducted tests will not be lost or altered.

Industry Applications: Wastewater Treatment, Food & Beverage, Education, Recreational Waterways, Environmental, Agriculture, and many others.

"Testing water from our otters' pools for coliforms has been quicker and easier since we switched to R-CARDs. The previous method we used required us to sterilize instruments every two weeks. We also had to purchase expensive broths and mediums. With the R-CARD you don't have to do either so it saves us both time and money. Another reason my team loves the R-CARD is because it's SO MUCH easier to interpret results than the previous method we used. The teal-colored dots make colonies obvious and the grid lines make quantifying results straightforward."
