The Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count Plates are a sample-ready culture medium system containing nutrients, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, and dual-sensing indicator technology that facilitates colony enumeration within 24 hours for most food matrices and environmental samples. Proven to be as reliable as the Standard Methods Agar (SMA) plate method, Petrifilm Rapid Aerobic Count Plates help users avoid costly retesting and delays due to interpretation issues caused by spreader colonies. Aerobic bacteria exist in various food matrices and act as food spoilage indicators. Obtaining accurate aerobic bacteria counts in raw materials, finished products, and the production environment is critical for making time-sensitive decisions affecting process control, cleaning protocols, and product quality and safety.
