EASYCHEM COLI online simultaneously detects both total coliforms (TC) and Escherichia coli (EC) in water, and/or fecal coliforms (FC); Measurement results, using the Presence/Absence (P/A), Time To Detect (TTD), and Multiple Tube Fermentation (MTF) techniques, are produced within 18 hours, depending on the measurement range.
The Colilert®-18 medium is recognized as an international standard (ISO) 9308-2:2012 and is also approved by the EPA and APPHA (Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater).
