High-sensitivity coliform count plates, Petrifilm™
Leverantör: 3M Food Safety
The 3M™ Petrifilm™ High-sensitivity coliform count plate accommodates 5 ml samples and detection of low levels of confirmed coliforms in 24 hours.
- Coliform results in 24 hours
- Plates are sample-ready, eliminating all the time-consuming steps of preparing media/agar dishes
- Unique plate design to trap the gas produce by coliform
- This plate has been awarded Official Methods of Analysis (OMA) #99602 for Dairy products and NF VALIDATION certificate: 3M-01/7 to 03/99 for Human food products by AFNOR Certification
- Food processors and contract labs worldwide trust 3M™ Petrifilm™ Plates to provide accurate, efficient, consistent results
This allows a 1-coliform-per-gram sensitivity if a 1:5 dilution of product is made. A 2-coliform-per-gram sensitivity is achieved if a 1:10 dilution is used. Whether testing milk, ice cream, cheese, or other food products, testing labs can benefit from the labor savings of 3M™ Petrifilm™ plates. These plates reduce overall testing costs and allow producers to easily conform to higher sensitivity standards. 3M™ Petrifilm™ High-sensitivity coliform count plates may be especially well-suited for use in facilities producing dairy products, where regulations and strict internal quality standards demand a high-sensitivity test that can deliver results quickly and accurately.
Three Easy Steps Offer Fast, Easy-to-Interpret Results:
1) Inoculate - 3M Petrifilm high sensitivity coliform count plates are easy to inoculate. Lift the top film and add sample.
2) Incubate - The space saving design minimises incubator space requirements.
3) Interpret - Count the colonies. An indicator dye in the plate colors Gram-negative colonies red and the top film traps gas produced by the coliforms. Simply count red colonies that are associated with gas bubbles as coliforms.
