Neogen 6483 Petrifilm Bacillus cereus Count Plates 700006921

Neogen Petrifilm Bacillus cereus Count Plates are sample-ready, selective and differential culture plates designed for the enumeration of the Bacillus cereus group (B. cereus sensu lato, including B. cytotoxicus) in food and beverage matrices. Plates provide easy-to-interpret colony results in as little as 20 hours and eliminate traditional media preparation, drying steps and handling of antibiotics or hazardous substrates. Primary use cases include quantitative testing and routine monitoring of Bacillus cereus in food production and quality laboratories.

Key Features:

• Catalog number: 6483
• Manufacturer part code: 700006921
• Time to result: as soon as 20 hours (20–24 hours noted)
• Quantity per package: 50 plates
• Storage conditions: -20 to 8°C (-4 to 46°F)
• Selective and differential medium that tests the entire B. cereus sensu lato group, including B. cytotoxicus
• Sample-ready plate containing proprietary nutrients, cold-water-soluble gelling agent, chromogenic indicators and a lecithinase substrate

Advantages:

• Delivers colony enumeration in as little as 20 hours, accelerating time-to-result versus traditional agar methods
• Eliminates media preparation and plate-drying steps, saving laboratory time and reducing hands-on work
• Removes need for antibiotic handling and exposure to hazardous substrates, improving operator safety
• Provides selective and differential detection across the full B. cereus sensu lato group for reliable enumeration
