Simplify your wastewater testing with Colilert-18

 

Easier, faster, and now EPA approved for fecal coliforms

 

The U.S. EPA published the Methods Update Rule in the Federal Register on August 28, 2017, adding another approval to the list for Colilert®-18. This simple, rapid test was already EPA-approved for a wide range of water types, including E. coli testing of wastewater. Now Colilert-18 is also approved for the detection of fecal coliforms in wastewater when incubated at 44.5°C.

  • Provides clear, quantifiable results in just 18 hours.
  • Eliminates media preparation and colony counting.
  • Simplifies training, testing, and quality control (QC).
  • Speeds up testing with less than 1 minute of hands-on time—no confirmations needed.
  • Expert guidance on state and regional accreditation.
