m-ColiBlue24 Broth, Hach 100mL

m-ColiBlue24 Broth

In 24 hours, Hach’s m-ColiBlue24® Broth provides simultaneous results for total coliforms and E. coli. This ready-to-use media eliminates the need for measuring, mixing, and autoclaving steps required for preparing dehydrated media. Available in glass ampules (26084-20), plastic ampules (260845-00), 100 mL bottles (26084-42), and agar plates (28052-15), it offers maximum shelf life and ease of use. With m-ColiBlue24 Broth, you can enumerate total coliforms and E. coli on one petri dish and easily differentiate colonies—red and blue indicate total coliforms, while blue specifies E. coli. This broth ensures optimal recovery of stressed and injured organisms.

Use Cases

m-ColiBlue24 Broth is suitable for monitoring and evaluating total coliform and E. coli in:

• Drinking water
• Wastewater
• Bottled water
• Beverages
• Surface, ground, and well water
• Ultrapure water
• Chemical processing water
• Pharmaceutical processing water

Compatibility

This broth should only be used with pads from:

• Pall Corporation (e.g., Sterile Petri Dishes with Absorbent Pads)
• Private Label/OEM products manufactured by Pall Gelman
• Sartorius (cellulose and glass fiber pads)
• Sartorius BioSart products with the integrated Petri dish

• Quantity: 1 each

Benefits

• Simultaneous Detection: Detects total coliforms and E. coli in just 24 hours without a confirmation step.
• Easy Interpretation: Differentiates coliforms (red) and E. coli (blue) easily; total coliforms are the sum of both.
• Cost-Effective: No need for special equipment or UV lamps; results are visually interpreted.
• Accurate Results: Minimizes background growth of non-coliform bacteria, reduces false positives and negatives, and offers superior sensitivity down to 1 CFU/100 mL.
• Versatile: Ideal for both emergency testing and routine monitoring, providing the best value for an EPA-approved, 24-hour media for coliform and E. coli enumeration.
