Item Number: 01210008

Detection of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria

VIT® E. coli/Coliforms unequivocally detects all coliform bacteria as well as E. coli in one single analysis. Even lactose and indole negative E. coli strains are detected reliably. Its reliability and specificity sets it apart from all other available procedures.

The analysis is easy to conduct – only few minutes hands-on time. The results are provided within 3 hours. Analysis is performed by using a fluorescence microscope. All essential expendable materials required for analysis are contained in the kit. Package size: 25 analyses.

Analysis can be performed with following samples:

  • Isolates (directly)
  • Liquid enrichment (directly)
  • Water (short pre-enrichment)
  • Food (short pre-enrichment)
  • Drinks (short pre-enrichment)
