New chromogenic medium for detection and enumeration of E. coli and coliform bacteria in water, according to ISO 9308-1
Chromatic™ Coliform Agar ISO is the new culture medium for enumerating coliform bacteria and E. coli in water samples with low bacterial background flora to replace Lactose TTC agar in accordance to the ISO 9308-1 (effective on Sept 16th, 2014).
Chromatic™ Coliform Agar ISO contains enzymes that allow the simultaneous identification of several microorganisms in 24 hours, by defined colors of the colonies. Coliform bacteria and E. coli are potential pathogens found in samples with low background flora such as drinking water, disinfected pool water and finished water from drinking water treatment plants.
