How It Works
Simple, Portable, and Reliable
Sample Collection
Collect 100 mL of the water sample in a sterile container (sample collection container included).
Preparation
Add the microtube containing the nutrient substrate and shake well. Then, use the syringe to transfer 1 mL of the sample into the microtube containing the test reagent.
Incubation
Keep the container in a shaded location for up to 18 hours. If needed, extend the incubation period to 24 hours to confirm the colorimetric change.
Results
Compare the color of the test sample with the control tube. If there is no color difference, the tested water is free of coliform bacteria.
