NEOGEN Petrifilm E. coli/Coliform count plates offer a cost-effective, convenient, and reliable method for testing equipment, raw materials, food products, and preparing environmental samples.

The NEOGEN Petrifilm E. coli/Coliform Count Plate is a sample-ready culture medium system that contains nutrients for violet red bile (VRB), a cold-water soluble gelling agent, a glucuronidase activity indicator (BCIG), and a tetrazolium indicator that facilitates colony counting in food and beverage samples. These plates provide information on both E. coli and the total coliform count with confirmed results in just 24-48 hours. By eliminating sequential confirmation steps required by most traditional reference methods, NEOGEN Petrifilm E. coli/Coliform count plates can help increase productivity and reduce overall laboratory costs.

Three simple steps provide fast, easy-to-interpret results:
1) Inoculate - NEOGEN Petrifilm E. coli/Coliform count plates are easy to inoculate. Lift the top film and add a sample.
2) Incubate - The space-saving design minimizes the space required in the incubator.
3) Interpret - Count the colonies. Confirmed coliforms are red or blue colonies with associated gas bubbles. Confirmed E. coli are blue colonies with associated gas bubbles. The results are fast and accurate.
