EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of AOAC 998.08 standard. AOAC 991.14 and 998.08 differ only in incubation time at 35°C. AOAC 998.08 is a validation study for 35-hour incubation of Petriflim at 24°C and applies only to raw meat, poultry and seafood (including carcass sponge samples).
These methods apply to:
Petriflim (modified purple-red bile medium) contains an indicator of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride and glucuronidase, which forms a blue precipitate around any E.coli colonies that may be present.
The plates are hydrated with the sample and gelling agents cause the medium to solidify. Gas is produced by fermentation of lactose by coliform bacteria (including E. coli). Glucuronidase negative bacteria form red colonies as a result of reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride.
