1) Inoculate - easy to inoculate, lift the top film and add sample
2) Incubate - designed to maximize incubator space
3) Enumerate - counts red colonies that are associated with gas bubbles as confirmed coliforms. A built-in grid facilitates counting colonies, ensuring fast, precise and accurate results

Benefits
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.
