Description
Easy Plate EC is an AOAC PTM certified custom media formulation for detection, identification and enumeration of E. coli and non-E. coli coliforms. A microbial test kit that includes two chromogenic substrates that cause E. coli to exhibit a blue-purple to navy blue color while non-E. coli coliforms exhibit pink to red-purple color allowing you to distinguish each in your analysis* in approximately 24 hrs. The distinct coloring of the colonies helps to overcome common interferences in food and water testing to make testing and enumeration of E. coli and coliforms easier. While most E. coli produce β-glucuronidase, E. coli O157 does not specifically produce β-glucuronidase, and it therefore exhibits a red-purple similar to that of non-E. coli coliforms. This needs to be considered in your analysis and conclusions. Easy Plate EC is AOAC PTM certified and sold in packages of 100 tests in 4 separate bags containing 25 tests each. The shelf life of 18 months when stored unopened at 2-8℃.
