NEOGEN Petrifilm Rapid Yeast & Mold Count Plate features new indicator technology that makes colonies easier to interpret. This sample-ready culture medium system delivers results in just 48 hours of incubation time.

Yeasts and molds can grow under diverse conditions in raw materials, finished products, and production environments, making them difficult to control. The NEOGEN Petrifilm Rapid Yeast & Mold Count Plate method is faster and easier than the traditional agar method, which requires an incubation period of five days. This plate features new indicator technology that makes colonies easier to interpret. This sample-ready culture medium system delivers results in just 48 hours of incubation time.

NEOGEN Petrifilm Rapid Yeast and Mold Count Plates have proven to be just as reliable as the DRBC and DG-18 spread plate methods, as well as the acidified PDA and YGC agar pour plate methods, and also improve productivity by eliminating the inoculation of multiple spread plates, the addition of antibiotics or tartaric acid, and the agar preparation process entirely. Faster results offer more time to monitor processes and ensure tighter process controls, along with a higher quality product.

Three simple steps provide fast, easy-to-interpret results:
1) Inoculation - NEOGEN Petrifilm aerobic 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.
