3M has announced the global launch of the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Aerobic Count Plate. This new innovation is an accurate and easy test that can detect aerobic bacteria that counts in just 24 hours for most food matrices. This comes 30 years after the birth of its original Petrifilm Plate, the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Aerobic Count Plate.

Benefits of the new 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Aerobic Count Plate include:

• Earned certification (#121403) from the AOAC® INTERNATIONAL Performance Tested Methods? (PTM) program inserts
• Just as reliable as Standard Methods Agar
• Faster time-to-result
• Technology that reduces the impact of spreader colonies
• Simplified inoculation area to drive greater efficiency and reduce costly retesting and delayed results

This new count plate will be critical for the food industry since processors need to make time-sensitive decisions to ensure superior product quality and manufacturing processes.
