CompactDry™ E. Coli (EC) and Coliforms Trays

Each convenient cassette contains four connected plates that can be easily snapped apart to support various dilution scenarios, while the dual chromogenic enzyme substrates (Magenta-Gal and X-Gluc) produce distinctive colony colors for effortless identification: E. coli forms blue colonies and other coliforms turn pink-purple, with total coliform count calculated as the sum of both. The self-diffusing media eliminates manual spreading, while the unique design enables subculturing without colony damage and offers the critical advantage of room temperature storage versus competitor products requiring refrigeration at 8°C or below. AOAC® Certificate No. 110402 validates performance for regulatory compliance applications.
