The Neogen® Petrifilm® Aerobic Count (AC) Plate is a time-saving, sample-ready plate designed to determine total aerobic bacteria populations. A built-in grid facilitates colony counting, helping to deliver fast, precise, and consistent results. Each Petrifilm Aerobic Count Plate contains a water-soluble gelling agent, nutrients, and an indicator — all the components required for microbial growth, with no agar preparation. The Petrifilm AC Plate provides total aerobic counts in 48 hours. A red indicator dye colours all colonies red, offering greater contrast and making colony counting easier. The red colonies are also easily distinguishable from opaque food particles that may confuse when using other plating methods. Additionally, Neogen® Petrifilm Aerobic Count Plates can be used to enumerate lactic acid bacteria in food and environmental samples under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
The Petrifilm Plate Advantage
In today’s climate of heightened focus on food safety and increasingly stringent quality standards, laboratories are under pressure to provide fast, reliable, and consistently accurate tests. Petrifilm Plates have demonstrated consistent performance and are recognised globally with more than 200 certificates, validations, accreditations, and peer-reviewed publications.
For nearly 40 years, food safety professionals around the world have trusted Petrifilm Plates. This is because Petrifilm Plates have streamlined, standardised, and simplified the process of microbial quantitative indicator testing, improving productivity and helping to ensure the highest levels of product quality.
