Following the success of the Bio-Rad RAPID’Chromogenic method for Bacillus cereus analysis, we've now extended the use of this global standard technology to deliver fast, accurate, confirmation-free testing for the enumeration of E. coli, Coliforms, and EB in product and environmental samples.

RAPID'Chromogenic method uses high colour-contrast agar which selectively screens out non-target bacteria, providing direct counts with no false positive results and no confirmation steps.

Testing for Coliforms and E. coli can occur simultaneously, so you can receive two results from a single test.

For further detail about the new test method and a list of common test codes please see: E. coli, Coliforms and Enterobacteriaceae counts using Bio-Rad RAPID’Chromogenic media (customer sign-in required).
