Heterotrophic plate count (HPC) is a method that measures colony formation on culture media of heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water. Thus the HPC test (also known as Standard Plate Count) can be used to measure the overall bacteriological quality of drinking water in public, semi-public and private water systems.

The former is a non-specific test for everything including the coliforms (if they are present). This test is commonly referred to as Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) or Total Aerobic Plate Count. HPC does not give an indication of the types of organisms present or their sources.

Bacteria analyses include Gram Staining and Enumeration of Culturable Bacteria, Total Coliform / E. coli (Presence/Absence), Total Coliform / E. coli (MPN), Total Coliform (membrane filter), Fecal Coliform (membrane filter), Standard Heterotrophic Plate Count and Legionella detection. Turnaround time for all culture analyses is 10-14 days.

Wallemia sebi is one of the so called xerophilic moulds, meaning that it can grow under relatively dry conditions (i.e., low water activity).

Mold growth in homes influences air quality because spores are released into the air and can be inhaled. Call Mold & Bacteria Consulting Services for your mold testing in Toronto, Ontario.
