EC Blue
In 1998, EC Blue was introduced as an official water test method in Japan approved by JWWA (2001).
There are 3 different presentations (packages) prepared for E. coli and coliform detection from water. EC Blue is "Culture Medium".
EC Blue Features:
- Easy to dispose after autoclaving (bottle and tube are made from APL)
- Long shelf life (1 year after manufacturing)
- Shorter incubation and detection time compared with other products (18-24 hours)
- Easy to judge and detect E.coli by fluorescence (APL is non-self fluorescent material)
- Can be stored at room temperature (under 30 ⁰C)
EC Blue Benefits:
- Conservation of environment (APL does not produce dioxin and other toxic gases)
- Save inventory and purchasing cost
- Easy and convenient to control lab workflow
- Confirmation or re-test are not necessary and it could save those costs
- Do not need to wait till medium to be room temperature (save preparation time)
EC Blue Interpretation:
- Colour change of medium (Green-Blue) might be Coliform positive
- Observation of fluorescence might be E. coli positive
