Important Note: m-ColiBlue24 should only be used with EO sterilized pads that are currently manufactured by the following companies/brands: Pall Corporation (e.g., Sterile Petri Dishes with Absorbant Pads), Private Label/OEM products manufactured by Pall Gelman, Sartorius (cellulose and glass fiber pads), Sartorius BioSart products with the integrated Petri dish, and Millipore EO sterilized pads.
No other pad is compatible with m-ColiBlue-24, and the use of any non-EO pad or EO pad, other than those manufactures recommended by Hach may result in unreliable and inaccurate testing.
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.
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.
m-ColiBlue24 requires no fluorescent lamps or color comparators—interpretation of the results is through easy, visual identification.
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).
m-ColiBlue24 is the best value for an EPA-approved, 24-hour media for enumeration of total coliforms and E. coli.
