Application

Rapid Coliform ChromoSelect Broth is used for detection and conformation of Escherichia coli and coliforms on the basics of enzyme substrate reaction from water samples, using a combination of chromogenic and fluorogenic substrate.

Preparation Note

Suspend 16.0 g (single strength) or 32.0 g (double strength) in 1 litre distilled water. Boil to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 1 bar pressure (121 °C) for 15 minutes.

Other Notes

Medium for the assay of water for Coliforms

Footnote

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
