3M Food Safety has introduced the 3M Petrifilm Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plate, a two-in-one indicator test that gives the customer both an E. coli and total coliform count in 18-24 hours. The new plate distinguishes E. coli from other coliform bacteria in only 18 to 24 hours for a wide variety of food samples, allowing processors to operate more efficiently and ship their products sooner.

“Our aim, always, is to develop highly accurate tests and technologies that result in less waiting and increased efficiency for our customers,” says Chris Somero, 3M Food Safety marketing manager. “This new plate is an all-in-one, easy-to-use chromogenic solution that can immediately boost productivity and accelerate their products’ time to market.”

The 3M Petrifilm Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plate is available worldwide.
