Description
Rapid Enterococci Kit is designed for the rapid detection and differentiation of Enterococci from water by an enzyme substrate-based method. It provides an easy and dependable technique for the water quality monitoring to aid laboratories and testing centers to detect indicator organisms related to fecal contamination.
The kit includes dehydrated form Rapid Enterococci Medium and a sterile sample bottle for ease of testing. The medium provides a source of nutrition for the Enterococci and contains selective agents to inhibit the growth of other organisms, particularly Gram-negative bacteria. While incubating, the enzyme β-D-glucosidase produced by Enterococci hydrolyses the chromogenic substrate present in the medium. The enzymatic reaction turns the color in the broth from light yellow to blue-green which provides a visual indication for positive results.
The testing procedure is straightforward and involves only sample collection, addition of the medium and incubation prior to observation. Its simplicity also allows for routine testing of any water quality in environmental, industrial and public health laboratories. Rapid Enterococci Kit provides reliable results in a short time, making it an ideal system for the quick identification of Enterococci from water samples.
