What Is Colitag™?

Colitag™ is a 16-48 hour water test (P/A and MPN) that detects as few as 1 MPN of E. coli and other coliform bacteria in 100mL of water. Colitag™ is a US EPA approved for use as a presence absence test and in the Most Probable Number (MPN) format as specified in Standard Method 9221 for compliance monitoring of total coliforms and E.coli in drinking water.

How Does Colitag™ Work?

Colitag™’s strength lies in its ease of use. Simply add Colitag™ to your 100ml sample, incubate for between 16 & 48 hours, use a simple visual check for coliforms in the first instance, then a fluorescence check to determine E.coli bacteria presence. For a more detailed overview please refer below to flowchart.

Science Behind Colitag™

Colitag™ utilises enzyme substrate technology for the simultaneous detection and enumeration of total coliform bacteria and E. coli in potable and non – potable waters with no confirmation test necessary. It is the most rapid EPA approved test available with results available in only 16 hours. The read window period can also be extended through to 48 hours if necessary, minimising work over weekends.
