3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plates provide a cost-effective, convenient and reliable method for testing equipment, raw materials, food products and manufacturing environmental samples.
The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid E. coli / Coliform Count (REC) Plate is a selective and differential sample-ready-culture medium system which contains proprietary nutrients, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-D-glucuronide (BCIG) an indicator of glucuronidase activity, and a tetrazolium indicator that facilitates colony enumeration. The 3M™ Petrifilm™ REC Plate is used for the enumeration of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and coliforms in the food and beverage industries.
These plates provide both E. coli and total coliform count information with confirmed in just 18-24 hours. By eliminating subsequent confirmation steps required with most traditional reference methods, the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plates can help increase productivity and reduce overall lab costs.
Three Steps Offer Fast and Easy-to-Interpret Results:
1) Inoculate.
