Hi everyone,
We would like to begin daily APC testing but have the issue of our current aerobic plate count petrifilm plates from 3M taking 48 hours to incubate. If we test on Thursday or Friday, someone will need to come in on the weekend to remove the plates from the incubator, which we would like to avoid since we operate M-F.
I was wondering if there exists a method for APC testing that incubates for a longer span of time so that when we are back from the weekend, the plates can then be removed from the incubator.
Thank you!
