Description
EC Blue 100P, for water analysis, sterile, ready-to-use
- Fast - results in just 24 hours
- Simple - easy to handle, even by non-professionals
- Safe - easy-to-interpret colour reaction
- Sensitive - 1 cfu/10 ml detection limit
- Efficient - simultaneous analysis of coliforms and E. coli
- Also suitable for chlorinated and turbid water
Quick and safe process for the analysis of coliform bacteria in general, and E. coli specifically in water.
The test is also suitable for analysis of turbid water samples and water samples containing suspended matter. Bacteria stressed by chlorinated water can generally also be verified.The EC Blue system saves time and preliminary work because the reagent mixture is provided in sterile test bottles for direct use.The presence of E. coli can easily be detected by the occurrence of fluorescence under UV light (see EC-Blue Mini UV lamp Art. No. KK49.1). Approximately 95 % of all E. coli strains produce the enzyme β-glucuronidase, which reacts with an enzyme substrate contained in EC Blue to release a fluorescent dye.Quantification is possible using EC Blue Quant/MPN (Art. No. 0199.1).
Pour 100 ml of the test water into a sterile container and dissolve the contents of a single-dose sachet of EC Blue 100P powder in it. The formation of a blue to blue-green colour after incubation at 35 °C indicates the presence of coliform bacteria in the water. This colour change is due to an enzymatic colour reaction of the coliform-specific galactosidase with the chromogenic substrate X-Gal.

Questions about EC Blue 100P, for water analysis, sterile, ready-to-use, 80 unit(s), plastic
What is this article?
EC Blue 100P, for water analysis, sterile, ready-to-use, 80 unit(s), plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Shimadzu Diagnostics for laboratory use. It sits in Microbiology (other), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
This shelf is the microbiology article that is not a medium, a dish or a loop: odd reagents, indicators and small devices used around a culture. The organism and the method still choose the article.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Culture media & microbiology. The sub-category is Microbiology (other). The catalogue is Life Science & Microbiology.
Shelves beside this one are Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), Petri dishes, Ready-to-use culture media (plates, tubes, bottles), Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles and Microbial identification, hygiene monitoring & rapid tests.
