Brilliance™ E. coli/Coliform Selective Medium (Dehydrated)

Detect and enumerate Escherichia coli and other coliforms in food and water samples with selective, chromogenic Thermo Scientific™ Brilliance™ E. coli / Coliform Selective Agar. The agar base uses two chromogens to differentiate between Escherichia coli and other coliforms. This results in purple E. coli, as they are able to cleave both chromogens while other coliforms, giving pink colonies.

The recovery and enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms are important indicators of environmental and food hygiene. Use Brilliance E. coli / Coliform Selective Agar for detection and enumeration of Escherichia coli and other coliforms in food and water samples.

• Easy-to-read: purple E. coli colonies are easy to differentiate from pink colonies of other coliforms
• Selective: due to the presence of selective agent sodium lauryl sulphate the medium is selective against Gram-positive organisms.
