Description
In 24 hours, Hach's m-ColiBlue24 Broth gives you simultaneous results for total coliforms and E. coli. Differentiate colonies easily - red and blue indicate total coliforms and blue specifies E. coli. There is no confirmation step. Get optimal recovery of stressed and injured organisms. Hach's ready-to-use media eliminates measuring, mixing, and autoclaving steps necessary to prepare dehydrated media and provides maximum shelf life and ease of use for prepared media.
Use m-ColiBlue24 broth to accurately monitor and evaluate total coliform and E. coli in drinking water; wastewater; bottled water; beverages; surface, ground, and well water; and ultrapure, chemical processing and pharmaceutical processing waters.
Also available as agar plates (2805215), Glass ampules (2608420), and 100mL bottles (2608442).
Please note:
m-ColiBlue24 should only be used with Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilized pads manufactured by Millipore (25248000) or other supplier.
Irradiated pads are not compatible with this product
, and the use of any pad other than those recommended may result in unreliable, inaccurate data.
With ready-to-use m-ColiBlue24® Broth, you can simultaneously detect total coliforms and E. coli - in just 24 hours.
Simultaneous detection and identification
Hach’s m-ColiBlue
®
24 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.
Easily read and interpret results.
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.
Save money by eliminating special equipment and UV lamps.
m-ColiBlue24 requires no fluorescent lamps or color comparators—interpretation of the results is through easy, visual identification.
Minimize background growth of non-coliform bacteria, reduce false positives and false negatives, plus get superior sensitivity down to 1 CFU/100 mL.
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).
Conduct emergency testing and routine monitoring.
m-ColiBlue24 is the best value for an EPA-approved, 24-hour media for enumeration of total coliforms and E. coli.
