Neogen 6462 Petrifilm Lactic Acid Bactaria Count Plate (LAB) - 700002227

The Neogen Petrifilm Lactic Acid Bacteria Count Plate (LAB) is a self-contained, sample-ready culture medium system designed to recover and enumerate lactic acid bacteria in food, beverage, and environmental samples. The plate contains nutrients, selective agents, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, a tetrazolium indicator to facilitate colony enumeration, and oxygen-scavenging compounds that create an anaerobic environment for recovery of homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria. Catalog No. 6462 and Manufacturer SKU 700002227 identify this specific LAB plate configuration.
