DETAILS
Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count (RAC) plates offer technology that facilitates colony enumeration in as little as 24 hours for most food matrices / environmental samples and resists distortion caused by widespread colonies.
Aerobic count bacteria are present in a variety of food matrices and serve as indicators for food spoilage. Getting accurate aerobic bacteria counts in your raw materials, finished product and production environment are critical to making time-sensitive decisions that impact process control, cleaning decisions and, ultimately, product quality and safety.
Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count are a sample-ready, culture medium system, which contain nutrients, a coldwater-soluble gelling agent, and a dual-sensing indicator technology that facilitate colony enumeration in 24 hours for most food matrices and environmental samples. Proven as reliable as the SMA plate method, Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count help agar users avoid costly retesting and delayed results due to interpretation issues caused by spreader colonies.
The Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count can also be read using the Neogen® Petrifilm® Plate Reader which provides consistent, fast, automated reading and recording of results of Neogen® Petrifilm® Plates (Aerobic Count, Rapid Aerobic Count, Coliform Count, E. coli/Coliform Count, Enterobacteriaceae Count and Select E. coli Count ) in 4 seconds.
Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Aerobic Count has been awarded Official Methods of Analysis (OMA) #2015.13.for Selected Food NF VALIDATION 3M 01/17-11/16 for Dairy products by AFNOR Certification.
