3M™ Petrifilm™ E.coli/Coliform Count Plate identifies both E. coli and other coliforms with confirmed results within 24-48 hours. By eliminating the confirmation steps you increase productivity and reduce overall lab costs.

For achieving fast, accurate results in 24 or 48 hours, follow these three easy steps:
1) Inoculate - easy to inoculate, lift the top film and add sample
2) Incubate - designed to maximize incubator space
3) Enumerate - confirmed coliforms are red and blue colonies with associated gas bubbles. Confirmed E.coli coliforms are blue colonies with associated gas bubbles. 3M Petrifilm Plates can also be read in 4 seconds using the 3M™ Petrifilm™ Plate Reader
