The Neogen® Petrifilm® Yeast and Mould Count Plate is a sample-ready culture medium system that contains nutrients supplemented with antibiotics, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, and an indicator to facilitate the enumeration of yeasts and moulds. Petrifilm Yeast and Mould Count Plates enumerate yeasts and moulds in the food, beverage, and bottled water industries. The Petrifilm Yeast and Mould Count Plate provides results within 3 to 5 days.
Yeasts and moulds can be easily distinguished on the plate:
-
Yeasts typically appear as small, blue-green colonies with defined edges and no central foci
-
Moulds appear as larger colonies, variably coloured, with diffuse edges and central foci
