Petrifilm® Aerobic Count Plates, PK1000

Neogen^® Petrifilm^® Aerobic Count Plates are time-saving, sample-ready plates designed to determine total aerobic bacteria populations. A built-in grid facilitates counting colonies, helping to provide fast, precise and consistent results. Each Petrifilm^® Aerobic Count Plate contains a water-soluble gelling agent, nutrients, and indicators—all the components needed for microbial growth with no agar preparation required. Petrifilm^® Aerobic Count Plates provide a total aerobic count in as little as 48 hours. A red indicator dye in the plate colours all colonies red for better contrast and easier colony counting. The red colonies are also easily distinguished from opaque food particles that can cause confusion when using other plating methods. In addition, Neogen^® Petrifilm^® Aerobic Count Plates can be used to aerobically or anaerobically enumerate lactic acid bacteria in food and environmental samples.
