How do I switch testing methods?

The IDEXX system is U.S. EPA approved for most wastewater testing applications in the U.S. (including detection of E. coli, fecal coliform, and enterococci in wastewater effluent). Our team of experts can provide step-by-step guidance on how to convert from your current testing method to IDEXX. We are also able to provide example SOPs that your laboratory can use to get started.

Who else is using IDEXX methods for wastewater testing?

Interested in speaking with another laboratory who is using the IDEXX system? We would be happy to connect you with a laboratory in your local area who has already made the switch.

“Colilert-18 has been the best change our lab has made. Our operators love the Colilert-18 method. It takes them less than five minutes to set up a fecal sample in the mornings and is so much easier to count. We’ve been thrilled with our results and the amazing customer service from IDEXX!” —Laboratory Technician, Pennsylvania
