Compact Dry ECO | E. Coli

Compact Dry ECO plates let you confirm Escherichia coli levels in just 24 hours across food, beverage, water, and cosmetic matrices. Each plate is pre-sterilized and infused with chromogenic substrate plus selective agents. E. coli form blue colonies that are easy to count and photo-document. Competing flora are suppressed, keeping backgrounds clear.

Key Benefits

• True “open → inoculate → incubate” workflow – no media prep, pouring, or autoclaving.
• Distinct colony color – rapid, unambiguous interpretation in busy QC labs.
• Ambient-stable & stackable – store at 1 – 30 °C; slim profile maximizes incubator space.
• Broad matrix coverage – validated for raw meat, ready-to-eat foods, dairy, water, cosmetics, and pharma inputs.
• Supports HACCP & regulatory testing – helps demonstrate that E. coli counts stay below critical limits.
  
  

Incubation parameters

pH tip: For acidic or alkaline products, adjust a 1:10 dilution to pH 6 – 7 (use 0.1–1 N NaOH or HCl) so the enzyme reaction and colony color develop optimally.

Performance

Countable range: 1 – 300 CFU per plate (1 mL inoculum).

Keep your production line safe and compliant by verifying E. coli levels quickly—without the time, labour, and waste of traditional agar methods.
