Highlights
- Self-contained anaerobic environment enabled by oxygen-scavenging technology and oxygen-barrier films. No gas packs, chambers, or CO₂ incubators needed
- Results in 48 hours of incubation time
- Ready-to-use plates eliminates the need for labor intensive media preparation, special diluents and sample pH adjustment
- All-in-one method for differentiation of gas-producing colonies without Durham tubes or extra steps
- Proven reliability versus MRS and APT agar methods. Can be used to test a broad range of foods and environmental samples
- 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
- Companies worldwide trust 3M Petrifilm Plates to provide accurate, efficient, consistent results
The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Lactic Acid Bacteria Count Plate 6461 is a time-saving, sample-ready plate designed to determine total lactic acid bacteria populations in food and environmental samples. Anaerobic made easy. Now you can get true anaerobic results using standard aerobic incubation conditions. The self-contained anaerobic environment in this plate enhances the recovery of lactic acid bacteria, providing fast, accurate results for effective control of product quality and shelf life. Fast, accurate testing in just 3 steps:* 1. Inoculate with 1 mL of sample. Simply lift the top film, add the sample, and roll the top film down. 2. Incubate at the appropriate temperature (28°C to 37°C). The space saving design minimizes incubator space requirements. 3. Count the red colonies after 48 hours. The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Lactic Acid Bacteria Count Plate is able to differentiate between homofermentative (non gas-producing) and heterofermentative (gas-producing) colonies. *Refer to the product instructions for additional information.
