3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid 48hr Yeast & Mould Count Plates, 500PK

The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast and Mould Count Plate method are faster and easier than the traditional agar method that requires a five-day incubation period. This plate features a new indicator technology that makes colonies easier to interpret. This sample-ready-culture-medium system provides results in as little as 48 hours of incubation time. Proven as reliable as the DRBC and DG-18 spread plate methods as well as the acidified PDA and YGC agar pour plate methods, 3M Petrifilm Rapid Yeast and Mould Count Plates also enhance productivity by eliminating the inoculation of multiple spread plates, the addition of antibiotics or tartaric acid, and the agar preparation process altogether.

• Storage Temperature: ≤ 8ºC
• Yeast and mould results in 48-60 hours
• 3M™ Petrifilm™ Plates use 75% less energy, use 79% less water, produce 75% fewer greenhouse gases and result in 66% less waste (by weight and volume) compared to competitive agar methods

This plate has been awarded Official Methods of Analysis (OMA) #2014.05 and NF VALIDATION certificate: 3M 01/13-07/14 by AFNOR Certification
