Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count Plates, PK50

The Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count Plates are a sample-ready, culture medium system that contains nutrients, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, and a dual sensing indicator technology that facilitates colony enumeration in 24 hours for most food matrices and environmental samples. Proven as reliable as the SMA plate method, Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count Plates help agar users avoid costly retesting and delayed results due to interpretation issues caused by spreader colonies. Aerobic count bacteria are present in a variety of food matrices and serve as indicators for food spoilage. Getting accurate aerobic bacteria counts in your raw materials, finished product, and production environment is critical to making time-sensitive decisions that impact process control, cleaning decisions, and, ultimately, product quality and safety.
