Description
ROTI®Aquatest Plate PCA, APHA, ISO 4833 is a ready-to-use, sterile culture plate prepared for microbiological testing according to APHA and ISO 4833 plate count agar principles. Designed for microbiology laboratories, the plates support enumeration workflows that rely on PCA medium aligned with recognised APHA and ISO 4833 references. Each unit is supplied ready-to-use and sterile, reducing preparation steps before inoculation and incubation. The stated density is 1,033 g/cm³. A pack of 30 pc(s) provides a convenient quantity for routine water, food, or environmental plate-count series where standardised PCA plates are preferred. This ROTI®Aquatest Plate PCA format comes from manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratories that need consistent, pre-poured plates rather than in-house media preparation. The combination of ready-to-use convenience, sterility, and clear reference to APHA and ISO 4833 helps align daily plate-count practice with established microbiological methods. Plastic-ready plate formats of this type fit standard incubator and colony-counting routines while keeping media handling straightforward for quality-control and analytical microbiology teams.

Questions about ROTI®Aquatest Plate PCA, APHA, ISO 4833, ready-to-use, sterile, for microbiology
What is this article?
ROTI®Aquatest Plate PCA, APHA, ISO 4833, ready-to-use, sterile, for microbiology is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Spectroscopy & physical property standards, inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
These standards check a physical or optical measurement: a refractive-index liquid, a wavelength standard, a viscosity oil, a melting-point substance. The stated value and its uncertainty are the product. They are not general reagents.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Analytical standards & reference materials. The sub-category is Spectroscopy & physical property standards. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are ICP, AAS & ion standards, Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), Reference substances & reagents (other), Volumetric standard solutions (titration), Reagents for analysis (Ph. Eur., ASTM, DIN) and Indicators & indicator solutions.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
