Compact Dry ECO For E. coli Counts

FOR E. COLI COUNTS FOR ESCHERICHIA COLI IN FOOD AND BEVERAGES

Detects and enumerates E. coli – provides accurate results for food and beverage microbiology.
Ready-to-use dry plate – eliminates media preparation and speeds up testing.
Chromogenic X-Gluc system – produces blue/green colonies for easy E. coli identification.
Self-diffusing dry medium – ensures even sample spread and consistent colony growth.
24-hour incubation time – delivers fast overnight results for routine QC.
Room-temperature storage – simplifies handling with no refrigeration required.
Long shelf life – supports efficient stock rotation and reduces waste.

CompactDry ECO is a ready-to-use plate enabling easy culture and enumeration of E. coli in solid food stuff (homogenized with buffer solution), water/liquid samples and swab based environmental testing for surfaces and production areas.
E. coli form blue colonies due to the chromogenic enzyme substrate, X-Gluc contained in the dehydrated selective media.

Precaution for interpretation
E. coli O157 does not produce beta glucuronidase. So, E. coli O157 colonies on CompactDry ECO are not coloured and form white colonies.
