CHROMagar™ E.coli
CHROMagar™ E. coli is a selective chromogenic culture medium for the detection and enumeration of β-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli in food, water, and environmental samples. The medium provides rapid, accurate identification of E. coli as an indicator of fecal contamination, supporting microbiological quality monitoring, regulatory compliance, and public health surveillance across food production, drinking water, recreational water, and environmental testing applications.
👉 Key Performance Features:
Rapid Detection: Enables detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli following 24 hours of incubation.
Distinct Chromogenic Differentiation: E. coli produces intense blue colonies, providing excellent visual contrast for accurate detection and enumeration, even at low colony counts.
Improved Laboratory Efficiency: Reduces hands-on time and colony confirmation compared to conventional culture methods through direct chromogenic identification.
Optimized Media Performance: Formulated with increased agar content to enhance surface integrity and streaking characteristics. Suitable for direct plating, membrane filtration, and pour plate methodologies.
