Introduction
Core Changes of the Standard Revision
| Comparison Dimensions | SN/T 1896-2007 | SN/T 4547-2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Name | Rapid Count of Coliforms and Escherichia coli in Foods-Petrifilm™ Test Plate Method | Commercial Kit Detection Method for Coliforms and Escherichia coli-Method 1 |
| Detection Method | Includes the MPN Method for Petrifilm™ Test Plates | Deletes the MPN Method, and retains the Plate Count Method |
| Technical Parameters | Unclear calculation formula | New colony calculation formula (Formula 1) |
Detailed explanation of the method principle
The test piece adopts a double-layer membrane structure design, and the lower membrane is pre-prepared with VRB culture medium and β-glucuronidase indicator:
- Escherichia coli determination: β-glucuronidase decomposes the indicator, forming blue colonies with bubbles
- Coliform group determination: Fermentation of lactose produces acid, causing the pH indicator to turn red, forming red colonies with bubbles
Typical application case
A poultry processing company uses 3M Petrifilm™ E. coli/Coliform test piece to detect thawed chicken:
- After 24 hours of incubation, 12 blue colonies (E. coli) and 25 red colonies (Coliform bacteria) appeared on the test piece.
- According to the formula, the number of E. coli was calculated to be 1.2×10² CFU/g, which meets the limit requirements of GB 16869-2005.
Key Operation Points
| Operation Steps | Technical Requirements | Common Errors |
|---|---|---|
| Sample Preparation | Homogenization time 1-2min, pH adjusted to 6.5-7.5 | Thaw temperature exceeding 45℃ will cause the death of microorganisms |
| Inoculation Operation | 1mL sample solution is added dropwise vertically, and the pressing plate is left to stand for ≥1min. | Bubble generation affects colony diffusion. |
| Culture conditions | 36±1℃, stacking ≤20 plates. | Temperature fluctuation leads to abnormal color development. |
Implementation recommendations
Key points of quality control
- A blank control (phosphate buffer) is required for each batch of testing.
- It is recommended to use a slap homogenizer for highly contaminated samples.
- The incubator temperature needs to be calibrated and recorded daily.
Method validation requirements
When used in the laboratory for the first time:
- Compare with GB Comparison test of 4789.3 traditional method
- Repeatability test of different operators (RSD≤15%)
- Storage stability verification of test pieces (stored at 2-8℃)
