Petrifilm™ Rapid E.coli / Coliform Count Plates
3M™Petrifilm™ Rapid
E.coli / Coliform Count (REC) Plate is a selective & differential
sample-ready-culture medium system which contains proprietary nutrients, a
cold water-soluble gelling agent, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoyl-D-glucuronide
(BCIG) an indicator of gluronidase activity, and a tetrazolium indicator
that facilitates colony enumeration. The 3M™ Petrifilm REC plate is used
for the enumeration of E.coli & Coliforms in the food and beverage
industries.
These
plates provide both E.coli & Total Coliform Count information with
confirmed results in just 18-24 hours. By eliminating subsequent
confirmation steps required with most traditional reference methods, the
3M™ Rapid E.coli / Coliform Count Plates can help increase productivity
and reduce overall labour costs.
- E.coli
and Coliform results in 18-24 hours
- Single
incubation time for both E.coli and Coliforms
- Plates
are sample-ready, eliminating media preparation

The
3M™ Petrifilm™ range
is easy to use in any laboratory with 3 simple steps: -
E.coli form
blue to blue-green colonies with or without gas.
Coliforms
form red colonies with closely associated (within one colony diameter)
entrapped gas. Colonies not associated with gas (a distance greater than
one colony diameter between colony and gas bubble) are not counted as
coliforms.
Total
coliforms count consists of both red with gas and blue colonies with or
without gas.
