EC Blue Coliform and E. coli test for water

Click2Contact

Traditional methods for testing Coliforms in water often require filtering the sample, which adds to the time, complexity and cost of performing a test. Nissui Pharmaceuticals’ EC Blue, available from AMSL Scientific, is a rapid Coliform and E. coli test for water samples. Results are available in 18–24 h and a simple colour change from clear to blue will indicate the presence of total Coliforms. If E. coli is present, then the sample will also fluoresce under UV light.

The test is ready to use, shelf stable and available in several different formats, such as jars, sachets and tubes. The jars are convenient as they are sterile and ready to use, all the user needs to do is add 100 mL of sample to the container and incubate. The sachets are versatile as users can add the media to any sample in a suitable container such as a bottle or Whirl-Pak bag.

Quantitative results with test are also available via the use of the tubes or the MPN Tray.
