Neogen® Petrifilm® Rapid E. coli/Coliform Count Plate

Method Description

This comprehensive dual-detection method identifies both total coliforms and E. coli across all concentration ranges without predetermined limits, ensuring accurate results regardless of actual contamination levels. The full range approach is valuable when contamination levels are unknown or when investigating incidents that may involve very high bacterial counts. This testing provides maximum analytical flexibility while simultaneously assessing both general sanitation indicators and specific fecal contamination markers.
