The kit can provide a single water test. It includes plastic bag with a special growth medium. Sample water is simply added to the bag and mixed with the growth medium to form a straw yellow solution. The growth medium has been specifically designed for the preferential growth of coliform when incubated at a temperature of 35°C to 37°C for 24 hours. Under these conditions, coliform, if present, outgrow other bacterial species that may be present in the water sample. As the coliform grow, they are induced to secrete an enzyme that causes a colour change of the solution to blue-green.
