M-EC TEST AGAR

M-EC Test Agar is recommended for the detection, differentiation and enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliforms in water using membrane filter technique. It is used in the examination of food, water, ingredients and raw materials to detect the presence of indicator groups such as coliforms. It is one of the most common tests performed in a microbiology laboratory, partly because there is accomplishment of these tests due to relative ease and speed. It claims the drinking water is safe and presence of these organisms indicates failure of the process. It acts as valuable bacterial indicator which determines the extent of faecal contamination of drinking water or recreational surface waters.
