CRM003 E.coli & Coliform Chromogenic Medium (ECC)
(Chromogenic Coliform & E.coli Agar)
 
Usages:
For the rapid detection and of coliforms and E. coli.
 
Principle:
Peptone and yeast extract powder provides carbon and nitrogen sources and trace elements; sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium; agar as medium coagulant; dodecyl sulfate inhibit Gram-positive bacteria; chromogenic substrate were mixed occurrence of coliforms and E. coli enzyme corresponding specific reactions, hydrolysis of the substrate, the release of the color groups, in a pale yellow plates coliforms appears orange-red colonies while E.coli appears blue-green colonies.
