DETAILS
3M™ Petrifilm™ Yeast and Mold Count Plates identify food borne yeast and mold in your food products and in your food processing environment.
Yeasts are easily differentiated from molds on the plate: Yeasts are typically indicated by small, blue-green colonies with defined edges and no foci. Molds are indicated by large, variably-colored colonies with diffuse edges and center foci.
