NF Validation Certificate: 3M01/07-03/99 for Human Food products by AFNOR Certification

Neogen Petrifilm™ High-Sensitivity Coliform Count Plate is a sample-ready-culture medium system which contains modified Violet Red Bile (VRB) nutrients, cold-water-soluble gelling agent and a tetrazolium indicator that facilitates colony enumeration.

By accommodating a 5mL sample, the Neogen Petrifilm™ High-Sensitivity Coliform Count Plate allows for the detection of low levels of coliforms in 24 hours. This allows a 1-coliform-per gram sensitivity if a 1:5 dilution of product is made. A 2-coliform-per-gram sensitivity is achieved if a 1:10 dilution is used. Whether testing milk, ice cream, cheese or other food product, testing labs can benefit from labour saving of Petrifilm™ Plates. These plates reduce overall testing costs and allow producers to easily conform to higher sensitivity standards.

Neogen Petrifilm™ High-Sensitivity Coliform Count Plates may be especially well-suited for use in facilities producing dairy products, where regulation and strict internal quality standards demand a high-sensitivity test that can deliver results quickly and accurately.

The interpretation of Coliform colonies on Neogen Petrifilm™ HSCC plates varies by method depending on the reference method followed.
