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:
Benefits
24-Hour Detection and Identification
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.
Easy to Read
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.
Easy to Interpret
m-ColiBlue24 requires no fluorescent lamps or color comparators—interpretation of the results is through easy, visual identification.
More Accurate
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)
