Total Coliform Detection Kit

 

The total coliform detection kit is a presumptive screen intended for the rapid detection of coliform bacteria from a swab sample using the handheld fluorometer. It utilizes a fluorogenic substrate which, when hydrolyzed by a specific enzyme (during peptide hydrolysis), produces a fluorescence which is read by the fluorometer (ex/em =480nm/530nm).

 

➥ Samples: Surface sample collected by swab.

 

➥ Assay Performance:

● Sufficient for 50 test.
● Detection range: 150,000 CFU/sampling, immediately showing result.
● Detection range: 1-150,000 CFU/sampling, after 3-6h incubation.
● Detection limit: 1 CFU/sampling.

 

➥ Shipping and storage: The kit is shipped at room temperature. Store the reagents at 4°C. Shelf life: 12 months.
