3M Food Safety introduces the 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced, an automation technology that gives food safety professionals new options to rapidly and accurately image, count and document microbiological colonies on 3M Petrifilm Plates indicator tests. By rapidly automating the colony-counting step of 3M Petrifilm Plates, the device can save food safety labs time and increase productivity.
The small, peripheral device contains a 5 MP camera and versatile barcode reader. It uses fixed artificial intelligence networks to enumerate 3M Petrifilm Plates. The plates are inserted into the device, with imaging and information automatically displaying on a USB-connected computer in 4–6 s, processing up to 900 plates/h. The device can enumerate 8 3M Petrifilm Plates and the Staph Express Disk and includes software that allows technicians to edit results and add other relevant sample information.
A study conducted found up to 94% reduced time to enumerate 3M Petrifilm Plates when using the 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced (observed on the 3M Petrifilm Aerobic Count Plate with High Count).
