A Method of Testing for the Detection, Enumeration, and Identification of E. coli and Coliform Bacteria for The Non-Specialist Which Requires No Prior Formal Training

Well Water Testing requires the use of 2 different media; the E.coli test ,which is Micrology Laboratories' Easygel ® Coliscan ® media and Easygel ® Total Count media. This test will give you total count of General bacteria, a total Coliform count, and distinguish E.coli for enumeration.

Why 2 different media?
The use of 2 different media allows for an evaluation process called Drop Out Plating. The Coliscan media drops out many general bacteria with the target of the recovery being total Coliform Bacteria: color coded growth of E.coli being blue, other Coliform Bacteria pink. The Total Number (TN) of Coliform, including E.coli, should be counted as 1 organism: one Coliform bacteria for enumeration purposes. The count of the General Bacteria culture will be the higher count culture. Subtract the Coliform count from the General bacteria count and you can approximate the count of non-Coliform bacteria in your Well Water sample.
