E.coli Test Kit
A Laboratory In A Box for the Detection, Enumeration, and Identification of E. coli and Coliform Bacteria for The Non-Specialist Which Requires No Prior Formal Training
Drop Out Plating E.coli and Coliform Bacteria. The Coliscan media drops out many general bacteria with the target of the recovery being total Coliform Bacteria: color coded growth of E.coli being blue, other Coliform Bacteria pink. The Total Number (TN) of Coliforms, including E.coli, should be counted as 1 organism: one Coliform bacteria for enumeration purposes. The count of the General Bacteria culture will be the higher count culture. Subtract the Coliform count from the General bacteria count and you can approximate the count of non-Coliform bacteria in your sample.
