The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast and Mould Count Plate method is faster and easier than the traditional agar method (requires a five-day incubation period). This plate features a new indicator technology that makes colonies easier to interpret.
Yeast and mould results in 48-60 hours.
Plates are sample-ready, eliminating the time-consuming, cumbersome step of preparing media/agar dishes.
3M™ Petrifilm™ Plates use 75% less energy, use 79% less water, produce 75% less greenhouse gases and result in 66% less waste (by weight and volume) compared to competitive agar methods.
18 months shelf life from date of manufacture
