Media for Coliforms

Brilliant Green Bile Broth (BGBB)

Brilliant Green Bile Broth (BGBB) is used for the confirmation of coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms in food products, water used for watering food products and for effluent / run-off water testing. It can also be used as an enumeration media for coliforms in frozen dairy and ice cream products.

Bromocresol Purple (BCP) Lactose Agar

Bromocresol Purple (BCP) Lactose Agar is a non-selective medium, used for the differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae. It is used for the confirmation of coliforms in the context of the standard T90-425, for the bacteriological examination of containers and recipients used in water bottling.

Bromocresol Purple (BCP) Lactose broth

Bromocresol Purple (BCP) Lactose broth is used as enrichment media for the enumeration of coliforms and of thermotolerant coliforms in water.

COMPASS® cc Agar

COMPASS® cc Agar allows the direct enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms in water by membrane filtration in 24 hours, without the typical confirmation tests as oxidase detection or indole production from tryptophan.

COMPASS® Ecc Agar

The chromogenic media COMPASS® Ecc Agar is a selective agar for the simultaneous and specific enumeration without confirmation of Escherichia coli and of other coliform bacteria in human and animal food.

Desoxycholate (0.1%) Lactose Agar

Desoxycholate (0.1%) Lactose Agar is a selective medium for the enumeration of coliform bacteria in milk, dairy products and other food products. The medium is also recommended for the isolation and culture of Shigella.

Desoxycholate Lactose Agar

Desoxycholate Lactose Agar is a selective medium for the enumeration of coliform bacteria in water, milk, dairy and other food products. The medium is also used for the differentiation and isolation of enterobacteria from samples of animal origin.

Endo Agar

Endo Agar is used for the confirmation of the presence of coliforms and/or thermotolerant coliforms in drinking water, in milk, in dairy products and in other foods.

Lactose Broth

Lactose Broth is used principally as a liquid enrichment media for the detection of Escherichia coli in cosmetic products, if neutralizers or dispersal agents are not necessary. It is also adapted to the culture of all Gram negative bacteria. Armed with a Durham tube, it can detect the fermentation of lactose.

Laurylsulfate-Tryptose broth

Laurylsulfate-Tryptose broth is a selective enrichment media used for the detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms in water and food products.

Tergitol 7 Agar

Tergitol 7 Agar is used for the enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria in water, notably potable water, through the membrane filtration method. This media is also used for testing swimming pool water.

Violet Red Bile (VRBL) Agar

Violet Red Bile Agar (VRBL) is a selective medium used for the detection and enumeration of coliform and thermotolerant coliforms food products.
