Title: 3MTM Flip-Top Dilution Bottle with Buffered Peptone Water (ISO): Performance Summary Number: TB. 196731.00 Effective Date: February 1, 2013 Supersedes: New Technology Platform: Sample Handling – 3MTM Dilution Products Originating Location: St. Paul, Minnesota
3MTM Dilution Products make indicator testing with 3MTM PetrifilmTM Plates easier and more convenient. 3MTM Flip-Top Dilution Bottle with Buffered Peptone Water (ISO) is a diluent for enumeration of microorganisms from food, beverage, and environmental samples. 3M has developed this product for use in indicator testing. Microbial performance of the 3M Flip-Top Dilution Bottle with Buffered Peptone Water (ISO) was compared to 0.1% Peptone Water for organism recovery on various 3M Petrifilm Plates. Study Design/Experiment: The 3M Flip-Top Dilution Bottle with Buffered Peptone Water (ISO) diluent was compared to a diluent control (0.1% Peptone Water) for organism recovery on several different 3M Petrifilm Plates. Both diluents were inoculated with a low level inoculum (
