Neogen® Petrifilm™ Aqua Heterotrophic Count Plates provide fast, accurate results in enumerating heterotrophic bacteria in the bottled water industry. These plates are used for the enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria in bottled water industries.

  • Results in 3-5 days.
  • Detects heterotrophic bacteria in bottled water.
  • Plates are sample-ready, eliminating the time-consuming, cumbersome step of preparing media/agar dishes.

3M Petrifilm Aqua Plates are sample-ready media that replace conventional agar, Petri dishes, media pads and disposable filter funnels used in the microbial testing of water.

Each plate contains a water-soluble gelling agent, nutrients and indicators in a dry, shelf-stable format. Petrifilm Aqua Plates can be used with the membrane filtration technique or the 1 mL direct-plating technique for Heterotrophic Count. Neogen® recommends using Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) filters, the most widely used filter material for water testing.

Petrifilm Aqua Plates take up 85% less space than agar dishes and 95% less space than disposable filter funnels. That frees up valuable space in your incubator, on your lab bench, in your refrigerator and in your waste container.
