3M Petrifilm Plates are small, flat, sample-ready plates that enable food processors to perform on-site microbial testing easily and efficiently. Their exclusive design features films coated with nutrients and a gelling agent. The plates may be used to test raw materials, in-process products, finished products, and the plant environment. Petrifilm Plates may also be used to verify a plant’s Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) program.

Petrifilm Plates have become the industry standard in food testing because they provide reliable results, technician-to-technician, shift-to-shift, plant-to-plant.
