The Colilert reagent simultaneously detects total coliforms and E. coli in drinking water easily, rapidly, and accurately. It is included in the newly released Standard Methods For The Examination Of Water And Wastewater 20th Edition (APHA, AWWA, WEF) as Method #9223. Simply add pre-measured Colilert reagent to a 100ml water sample and incubate for 24 hours. Coliforms turn the mixture from colorless to yellow and E. coli make it fluoresce. The reagent yields P/A or quantified results in 24 hours with less than 1 minute of hands-on time. It can suppress up to two million non-coliforms per sample and requires no filtering or confirmation.
