Store unopened 3M Petrilm SEC Plate pouches refrigerated or frozen at temperatures lower than or equal to 8°C
(46°F). Just prior to use, allow unopened pouches to come to room temperature before opening. Return unused 3M
Petrilm SEC Plates to pouch. Seal by folding the end of the pouch over and applying adhesive tape.
Store resealed pouches in a cool dry place for no longer
than four weeks. It is recommended that resealed pouches of 3M Petrilm SEC Plates be stored in a freezer (see
below) if the laboratory temperature exceeds 25°C (77°F) and/or the laboratory is located in a region where the relative
humidity exceeds 50% (with the exception of air-conditioned premises).
To store opened pouches in a freezer, place 3M Petrilm SEC Plates in a sealable container. To remove frozen 3M
Petrilm SEC Plates for use, open the container, remove the plates that are needed and immediately return remaining
plates to the freezer in the sealed container. 3M Petrilm SEC Plates should not be used past their expiration date. The
freezer that is used for open pouch storage must not have an automatic defrost cycle as this would repeatedly expose
the 3M Petrilm SEC Plates to moisture which can damage the plates.
Do not use 3M Petrilm SEC Plates that show discoloration. Expiration date and lot number are noted on each package
of 3M Petrilm SEC Plates. The lot number is also noted on individual 3M Petrilm SEC Plates.
Disposal
After use, 3M Petrilm SEC Plates may contain microorganisms that may be a potential biohazard. Follow current
industry standards for disposal.
