Rapid test for Coliforms (surfaces)

Microgen® Path-Chek® Coliforms (Rapid Test for Coliforms) for the rapid detection of Coliforms from work surfaces and the processing environment.

Test principle of Path-Chek® Coliforms:
Bacteria are recovered from the surface of food manufacturing or processing equipment using a pre-moistened swab (ref: PCS-100 - not included), which is capable of neutralising commonly employed detergents and sanitisers.
The sample swab is then transferred into an organism specific media.
Path-Chek® Coliforms are incubated at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours.
If the specific target bacteria are present on the sample swabs, bacterial growth will cause the colour of the media to change.
