The Neogen® Petrifilm® Plate Reader Advanced enumerates 11 different Neogen® Petrifilm Plates: Rapid Aerobic Count Plate, Rapid Coliform Count Plate, Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plate, Rapid Yeast and Mould Count Plate, Aerobic Count Plate, Coliform Count Plate, Enterobacteriaceae Count Plate, E. coli/Coliform Count Plate, Select E. coli Count Plate, Staph Express Count Plate, Staph Express Disk, and Lactic Acid Bacteria Count Plate.

Following incubation, Petrifilm® Plates can be easily fed into the Petrifilm® Plate Reader Advanced where each plate is imaged and enumerated via onboard fixed artificial intelligence in six seconds or less. Each Petrifilm® Plate artificial intelligence network was trained and validated with a wide assortment of food matrices to ensure accurate plate enumeration.

The Petrifilm® Plate Manager Software utilises a simple and streamlined user interface to collect, store, and report Petrifilm® Plate results. The system recognises 10 barcode symbologies which enables users to easily map details such as technician, food type, and dilution, rather than transcribing by hand. Results can be exported to a user’s Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and other reporting tools. Additionally, the Petrifilm® Plate Manager Software allows users to access results from multiple PCs that are connected to a company intranet.
