Fruit is mostly susceptible to yeast and molds due to the natural acidity of fruit. The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Yeast and Mold Count Plate can be an indicator for spoilage and the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Coliform Count Plate is an indicator of sanitation (coliforms may not grow due to low pH, but may survive). For frozen vegetables, use the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Aerobic Count Plates for the Lactic Acid Bacteria method and 3M Petrifilm Coliform Count Plates as an indicator of sanitation efficacy. The 3M Petrifilm Aerobic Count Plates and the 3M™ Petrifilm™ E.coli/Coliform Count Plates can be used as a general indicator of quality in fresh vegetables.
3M™ Petrifilm™ Plates are a family of sample-ready tests designed to save you time, increase technician productivity, improve reliability and most of all provide you with greater overall technician efficiency. With the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Aerobic Count Plate, you can determine aerobic bacteria populations in 48 hours and/or following a simple procedure, determine lactic acid bacteria in 48 hours. Learn More…
