Hach, 2223111, Chlorine, Coliform, and pH Test Kit, Model CEC-2 (with 120 Vac UV Lamp and Incubator)

Coliforms are reliable indicator organisms for testing water quality because they travel with disease-producing microorganisms and are easy to isolate. The presence of coliforms in drinking water indicates the water may not be suitable for drinking and may need to treated with a disinfectant such as chlorine. The coliform test uses tryptose broth and MUG reagent. It provides a reliable, quick way to determine the presumptive presence of coliforms and the specific presence of Escherichia coli, a fecal coliform.
Thirty MUG tubes are supplied along with a long-wave UV lamp for reading results, a 12-well dri-bath incubator, sterile sampling bags containing a dechlorinating agent, and a pH pocket Pal™ Tester. Pillow-packaged DPD reagent is provided for USEPA-accepted chlorine testing, if approved by the state.
