Background: The microbial testing platform, Peel Plate™, was developed with Baird Parker ingredients for Staphylococcus aureus (SA) specificity. After rehydrating with 1 mL of the diluted food sample, Peel Plate SA is incubated for 24-48 h at 35-37 °C and observed for purple colonies.

Objective: A validation study was performed to evaluate Peel Plate SA for enumeration of S.

Background: The 3M™ Petrifilm™ Rapid Aerobic Count (RAC) Plate is a sample-ready culture medium system designed to facilitate colony enumeration in 24 h (48 h for dry powders) for selected food and environmental surfaces.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the 3M Petrifilm RAC Plate in a matrix extension study for the enumeration of aerobic bacteria on stainless steel, sealed concrete, and rubber surfaces.

Method: The 3M Petrifilm RAC Plate was compared to the U.
