FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions about EC Blue Products

EC blue can be used to test E. coli and coliform contamination in a broad range of water samples including drinking water, seawater, sewage water, chlorinated water (e.g. swimming pool) etc.

Yes, EC Blue is suitable for chlorinated water analysis, the addition of sodium thiosulfate is recommended for water with a high concentration of chlorine.

The EC Blue formulation contains 2 different substrates: one chromogenic for the detection of coliforms and a fluorescent substrate that is specifically hydrolyse by E. coli.

Coliforms give a green/green-blue colouration after 24h of incubation at 37 °C and E. coli produce fluorescence, observable under UV-light.

The EC Blue product range can be used either qualitatively or quantitatively for the analysis of water.

EC Blue 100 (05593-EB0-080) and 100P (05591-EBP-100) provide a qualitative assessment of water contamination.

Quantitative measurement of bacterial contamination of water can be performed using EC Blue in combination with EC BlueQuant (06517-EBQ-018) using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method.

EC Blue 100 (05593-EB0-080) and 100P (05591-EBP-100) are stable for 24 months at room temperature (avoiding light exposure)

Coliform positive sample displays a green to blue/green colour, visible to the eye.

E. coli positive samples are fluorescent after exposure to a UV light.

If interpretation is ambiguous, the EC Blue comparator (06514-EBC-001) will allow discrimination of positive and negative samples for both E. coli and coliform contamination.

Incubate samples at 37 °C for 24h.

Food testing using CompactDry plates requires minimal lab equipment including pipettes, a sterile preparation area, and an incubator (a suitable homogeniser would be required for solid food homogenisation)

EC Blue bottles should be disposed according to local regulations for biohazardous materials.
