3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast & Mold Count Plates 6477, 500 each/case

3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plate 6477 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. Yeast and molds can grow in a wide range of conditions in raw materials, finished products and production environments, making them difficult to control. 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plate method is faster and easier than the traditional agar method that requires a five-day incubation period. 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 Mold Count Plate also enhance productivity by eliminating the inoculation of multiple spread plates, the addition of antibiotics or tartaric acid, and the agar preparation process altogether. Faster results provide more time to monitor processes and ensure tighter process controls along with a higher quality product.

Three Easy Steps Offer Fast, Easy-to-Interpret Results:* 1) Inoculate - 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plate is easy to inoculate. Lift the top film and add sample. 2) Incubate - The space saving design minimizes incubator space requirements. 3) Interpret - Count the colonies. *Refer to instructions for use for additional information, and more details on validations.
