E.coli and coliforms

MC-Media Pad ECColoring sample: E.coli and coliforms 

Interpretation Escherichia coli forms Indigo to magenta colonies, the area surrounding with red line are Escherichia coli. The blue to turquoise colonies are coliform other than Escherichia coli.

Food sample
Chicken liver

MC-Media Pad EC Coloring sample: Food sample chicken liver 

Interpretation The entire pad is colored by enzyme containing in the organs, it may be difficult to count colonies. In this case, further dilution can reduce the color development caused by the food enzyme.

Food sample
Cheese

MC-Media Pad EC Coloring sample: Food sample cheese 

Interpretation The entire pad is colored by enzyme containing in the cheese, it may be difficult to count colonies. In this case, further dilution can reduce the color development caused by the food enzyme.
