CHROMagar™ Liquid ECC, 5000mL
CHROMagar™ Liquid ECC is a selective chromogenic liquid medium for the simultaneous detection, differentiation, and enumeration of β-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli and coliforms in water samples. The medium supports rapid assessment of fecal and general coliform contamination, providing a reliable tool for water quality monitoring, regulatory compliance, and public health surveillance.
👉 Key Performance Features:
Simple Preparation: Liquid formulation simplifies media preparation compared to conventional agar-based methods.
Low Media Volume: Requires only 2mL/test, reducing media consumption and overall testing costs.
Simultaneous Detection and Differentiation: Enables concurrent detection of Escherichia coli and coliforms in a single medium, supporting differentiation of fecal (E. coli) and general coliform contamination.
Distinct Chromogenic Results: Produces purple E. coli and blue coliform reactions with high color contrast, facilitating rapid, unambiguous interpretation.
Improved Workflow Efficiency: Reduces hands-on time and simplifies testing compared to traditional chromogenic methods, supporting high-throughput water quality testing.
High Analytical Performance: Demonstrates 99.1% sensitivity and 96.9% specificity for the detection of Escherichia coli, as reported by Ho and Tam (1997).
