m-ColiBlue24® Broth
m-ColiBlue24 Broth, Agar Plates
Hach's ready-to-use media eliminates measuring, mixing, and autoclaving steps necessary to prepare dehydrated media. In 24 hours, Hach's m-ColiBlue24 Broth give you simultaneous results for total coliforms and E. coli. Glass ampules (26084-20), plastic ampules (260845-00), 100mL bottles (26084-42) of m-ColiBlue24 and agar plates (28052-15), afford maximum shelf life and ease of use for pre-measured and prepared media. Enumerate total coliforms and E. coli on one petri dish. Conduct emergency testing and routine monitoring. Get superior sensitivity - 1 CFU/100mL. Differentiate colonies easily - red and blue indicate total coliforms and blue specifies E. coli. Get optimal recovery of stressed and injured organisms. Minimize background growth of non-coliform bacteria. Eliminate special equipment and ultraviolet lamp. With ready-to-use m-ColiBlue24 Broth, you get these benefits:
Hach’s m-ColiBlue24 Broth simultaneously detects and identifies both total coliforms and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Incubation time is 24 hours for complete enumeration. There is no confirmation step.
m-ColiBlue24 makes it easy to differentiate between coliforms and E. coli—E. coli are blue; other coliforms are red; total coliforms are the sum of the two. It’s that simple.
m-ColiBlue24 requires no fluorescent lamps or color comparators—interpretation of the results is through easy, visual identification.
Enumerate test results directly with m-ColiBlue24 Broth. m-ColiBlue24 is much more accurate and precise than statistical-based tests such as Most Probable Number (MPN) and Multiple Tube Fermentation (MTF).1,2,3
m-ColiBlue24 is the best value for an EPA-approved, 24-hour media for enumeration of total coliforms and E. coli. In addition, Hach Company not only offers the total solution, but also special discount packages on media, Petri dishes, membranes, and filtration equipment.
Hach’s m-ColiBlue24 Broth has been approved by the EPA for monitoring drinking water and wastewater using a 24-hour incubation period. It can also be used to detect coliforms in other types of water—bottled, surface, ground, well, recreational (fresh or marine), as well as process water for ultrapure chemical processing.
