Application

E. coli Chromogenic ID Membrane is used for rapid detection & confirmation of Escherichia coli in water and food samples, based on a chromogenic method. They find their application in various sectors such as the food and dairy industry, water industry, pharmaceutical laboratory testing, cosmetic industry, environmental and sanitary testing, clinical diagnostic, etc.

General description

E. coli chromogenic ID Membranes are substrate-carrying membranes used for rapid identification and differentiation of E. coli through characteristic chromogenic reactions while placed on the agar surface post-incubation. The membranes contain chromogenic substrate X-Gal. The principle is based on the ability of E. coli to cleave X-Gal substrate, giving a blue colony that is visible post-incubation.
