Coliform and E. coli are common indicator organisms of hygiene in foods and the environment. Their presence indicates inadequate sanitation conditions during processing and potential fecal contamination. Rapid and accurate detection of coliform and E. coli enables food processors to implement process control, verify cleaning effectiveness, and ensure product safety.
The E. coli / Coliform Count Plate is a ready-to-use culture medium system containing selective and differential media, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent and chromogenic substrates that facilitate simultaneous differentiation and enumeration of coliform and E. coli. It is intended for the quantitative detection of coliform and E. coli in food raw materials, processing environments, and finished products, offering easy operation and clear result interpretation.
Product No. EP1204 (with a 20 cm2 growth area) features an optimized internal structural design that achieves the equivalent spreading effect without external tools, eliminating the need for an external spreader and simplifying the user workflow.
