Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plate

Method Description

This sensitive dual-detection method identifies both coliforms and E. coli at low levels up to 1,500 CFU/g, ideal for high-quality products requiring minimal bacterial contamination. The low detection range is important for products where any significant bacterial presence indicates contamination or processing failures. The combined testing provides comprehensive contamination assessment at sensitive levels.
