m-ColiBlue24 Broth
In 24 hours, Hach's m-ColiBlue24® Broth give you simultaneous results for total coliforms and E. coli. Hach's ready-to-use media eliminates measuring, mixing, and autoclaving steps necessary to prepare dehydrated media. Glass ampules (26084-20), plastic ampules (260845-00), 100mL bottles (26084-42) of m-ColiBlue24 and agar plates (28052-15), afford maximum shelf life and ease of use for pre-measured and prepared media. Enumerate total coliforms and E. coli on one petri dish. Differentiate colonies easily - red and blue indicate total coliforms and blue specifies E. coli. Get optimal recovery of stressed and injured organisms.
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.
m-ColiBlue24 should only be used with pads 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 the 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:
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.
Hach’s m-ColiBlue24 Broth has been approved by the EPA for monitoring drinking water and wastewater using a 24-hour incubation period. It can also be used to detect coliforms in other types of water—bottled, surface, ground, well, recreational (fresh or marine), as well as process water for ultrapure chemical processing.
