Escherichia coli and Coliforms are traditionally used as indicator organisms for faecal contamination in water and other environmental sample. Detection of these organisms usually points to poor hygiene. Coliform Isolation Transwab® (MW503) provides a simple method for detecting these organisms.

This test consists of a swab for collecting the sample and a tube of indicator medium, packed together in a convenient peel pouch which can be stored at ambient temperature.

The coliform swabs show a definite colour change from purple to yellow when coliforms are present. The test is completely self-contained and requires only a means of incubating the swab at 37°C.
