No prep, no wasted media. A microbiological media "plate" that consists of 2 clear plastic film sheets with sterile medium in between. This super-thin layer of medium supports the growth of microorganisms just like the surface of an agar plate. A class set stacks in the same space as one petri dish. Petrifilm(tm) plates can be counted on a standard colony counter or other magnified light source. Store unopened Petrifilm plate pouches at a temperature of 8 degrees C.

Lake water testing

Im using these to test water quality in our small lake. 3M doesnt certify these for that purpose, but they seem to work just fine. I incubate at 95 deg F for 24 hours to count total coliform, then an additional 24 hours to test specifically for E coli.

You should be more protective of the products you ship.
Quick, tangible results

I used this Petrifilm to collect some basic water quality data from the Black River in Springfield, VT after Tropical Storm Irene caused major flooding and damage to infrastructure, including two waste-water treatment facilities. Both as a homeschool project and as a citizen science tool, these were easy to use and provided visceral imagery to use as a tool to engage in conversations about flooding, river corridor integrity, bank stability, and more.
