Simply lift the R-CARD® Enterococcus clear film and deposit 3 mL of your sample on the card. Then release the clear film so it can fall back on top of the card, covering your sample. Within 1-3 minutes, the liquid sample will solidify between the two layers. This prevents it from dripping or leaking, making R-CARD® rapid tests incredibly easy to transport and use in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor quickest results, it’s best to incubate your set up test at 35±2°C for 15-36 hours (Enterococci grows quickly in this temperature range). To read your results, simply count the number of teal\/green dots which show the number of Enterococcus colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more detailed instructions, please check out the PDFs below. \u003cb\u003eRemember, we offer free technical support on any stage of the process and would be happy to instruct and advise you.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-external-message\" title=\"R-Card® Using Micropore Membrane Filter\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7152\/4758\/files\/R-CARD_WITH_MEMBRANE_FILTER.pdf?v=1645801638\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTesting 2mL-100mL Aqueous Samples on R-Card® Using Membrane Filter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (PDF)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Step-by-Step Instructions: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7152\/4758\/files\/R-CARD_-_Enterococcus_-_Operating_Procedure.pdf.pdf?v=1737750973\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView PDF document\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eR-CARD General Use Instructions: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7152\/4758\/files\/R-CARD_-_General_Use_-_Operating_Procedure.pdf?v=1611234499\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView PDF document\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Additional Helpful and Important Information\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rothbioscience.com\/pages\/additional-helpful-and-important-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAdditional Helpful and Important Information\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy R-CARD® Rapid Tests Are Better Than Competing Products \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR-CARD® rapid tests offer a revolution in convenience without sacrificing accuracy. The cards are completely self-contained and don’t require petri dishes, agar, or other gear that’s fragile and prone to leak. Simply place your sample on the card and wait 1-3 minutes for the liquid sample to solidify between the two layers. This prevents it from dripping or leaking. Cards can easily be stored in a coat or backpack pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s also incredibly easy to read R-CARD® results.
