Heterotrophic Plate Count Test

Targeted testing for heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water. Particularly useful when clients report musty, moldy, or mildew-like taste or smell, or when you've observed microbial growth and biofilm buildup on fixtures. Heterotrophic bacteria are microorganisms that require organic carbon for growth—including bacteria, yeasts, and molds. This total heterotrophic bacteria plate count provides quantified analysis to demonstrate the presence or extent of microbial activity in a water supply, giving you measurable data to guide treatment recommendations.

The kit includes all required materials for proper sample collection and certified laboratory testing, including prepaid shipping label and chain of custody.
