Description
Fast and Accurate Detection of Coliforms
Introducing our Coliforms Chromogenic Medium, a premium solution designed for the rapid and precise detection of coliforms in various food products, including milk, ice cream, meat, and water. This innovative medium allows microbiologists and food safety professionals to efficiently identify potential contamination, ensuring consumer safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
Key Features of Coliforms Chromogenic Medium
Our Coliforms Chromogenic Medium showcases an exceptional formulation that promotes the growth of coliform bacteria while inhibiting gram-positive organisms. After only 24 hours of incubation at 36 ± 1 ℃, typical coliform colonies appear as striking blue-green, which helps distinguish them from other bacteria that manifest as yellow or colorless colonies. This clear differentiation is essential for accurate microbial analysis.
Comprehensive Ingredient List
The medium consists of high-quality components designed for optimal performance:
- Special Nutrients: 34.55 g/L
- Chromogenic Reagent: 0.35 g/L
- Agar: 13.0 g/L
- Final pH: 7.0-7.2 at 25℃
These ingredients work synergistically to promote the growth of coliforms while suppressing unwanted organisms. As a result, you obtain reliable results crucial for food safety testing.
Simple and Efficient Procedures
Using our Coliforms Chromogenic Medium is straightforward. Begin by suspending 47.9 g of the medium in 1L of distilled water. Boil for one minute, then autoclave at 121 ℃ for 15 minutes. After cooling to 45-50 ℃, add 1 mL of your prepared sample into sterile Petri dishes. Incubate the culture at 36 ± 1 ℃ for 18-24 hours. The presence of blue-green colonies indicates coliform presence, allowing for quick decision-making in food safety protocols.
Quality Control for Reliable Results
Quality control is paramount in microbiological testing. Our medium undergoes rigorous testing against various standard strains, including E. coli, which should yield abundant blue colonies. Meanwhile, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes will appear colorless. This ensures that your testing environment remains consistent and reliable, ultimately leading to more accurate assessments.
Storage and Handling
To maintain the integrity of the Coliforms Chromogenic Medium, store the prepared plates away from direct light and use them immediately. The powdered medium should remain in a dark, dry place at temperatures between 2-8 ℃. Be mindful that expired powder or compromised media should not be used, as they can lead to inaccurate results.
Conclusion
Our Coliforms Chromogenic Medium serves as an indispensable tool for anyone involved in food safety and quality control. With its fast detection capabilities, user-friendly procedures, and rigorous quality control measures, this medium supports laboratories in meeting stringent health standards. Therefore, ensure the safety of your products with reliable coliform detection today!
