FromEurofins
In this qualitative analysis, environmental samples such as swabs, water, dust, etc. are grown in culture with metabolic indicators to detect the presence/absence of coliforms. If coliforms are presence, the culture is further analyzed to detect E. coli and fecal coliforms. Fecal coliforms are distinguished by their ability to grow at increased temperatures suggesting pathogenic potential.
