The Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid Yeast and Mould Count Plate method is faster and provides results in as little as 48 hours of incubation time, vs. the traditional agar method that requires a five day incubation period. Yeast and moulds can grow in a wide range of conditions in raw materials, finished products, and production environments, making them difficult to control. This Petrifilm Yeast and Mould Count Plate features a new indicator technology that makes colonies easier to interpret. Proven as reliable as the DRBC and DG 18 spread plate methods, as well as the acidified PDA and YGC agar pour plate methods, Petrifilm Rapid Yeast and Mould Count Plates also enhance productivity by eliminating the inoculation of multiple spread plates, the addition of antibiotics or tartaric acid, and the agar preparation process altogether. Faster results provide more time to monitor processes and ensure tighter process controls to support product quality. An added foam barrier around the inoculation area makes inoculating the plates easier, making it easy to interpret results, and special technology keeps mould colonies from spreading and overlapping. Petrifilm RYM plates eliminate the need for the labor-intensive, multiple-plate spread plate technique, while providing results in as little as 48 hours of incubation for most product categories.

In today’s environment of heightened focus on food safety and increasingly stringent quality requirements, labs are under pressure to provide tests that are fast, reliable and consistently accurate. Petrifilm Plates, like our yeast and mould plates, have demonstrated consistent performance that has been cited globally with more than 200 certificates, recognitions, validations, and peer-review publications. For almost 40 years, food safety professionals around the world have put their trust in Petrifilm Plates. That’s because Petrifilm Plates have streamlined, standardised, and simplified the process of microbial quantitative indicator testing, improving productivity and helping ensure the highest levels of product quality. The Petrifilm Rapid Yeast and Mould (RYM) Plate offers unmatched quality, reliability, convenience, and efficiency.
