By accommodating a 5mL sample, the 3M™ Petrifilm™ High-Sensitivity Coliform Count Plate allows for the detection of low levels of coliforms in 24 hours.
The 3M™ Petrifilm™ High Sensitivity Coliform Count Plate is especially suitable for use in facilities producing dairy products where federal and state regulations, along with strict internal quality standards, demand a high-sensitivity test that can deliver results quickly and accurately. Fast, Accurate, Results in 24 hours with three easy steps: 1) Inoculate - 3M™ Petrifilm™ Plates are easy to inoculate. Lift the top film and add sample 2) Incubate - The space saving design maximizes incubator space and 3) Enumerate - Count red colonies that are associated with gas bubbles as confirmed coliforms. A built in grid facilitates counting colonies, giving fast, precise and accurate results.
3M™ Petrifilm™ High Sensitivity Count Plates are sample-ready to use at any time to streamline your testing process. One 3M Petrifilm High-Sensitivity Coliform Count Plate, at a 1:5 dilution, takes the place of three standard pour plates for 1 CFU/gram testing. This will reduce your overall cost per test while easily conforming to higher sensitivity standards. The indicator dye and built in grid allows fast accurate identification of colonies.
By using labor-saving 3M™ Petrifilm™ Plates, you’ll have time to monitor critical control points more often.
A survey of 274 plants who converted to 3M Petrifilm Plates from traditional agar methods found an average labor savings of 45% and an average increased technician efficiency of 80%.
