Colilert, which simultaneously detects coliforms and E. coli, is the global leader in coliform and E. coli tests, with dozens of approvals worldwide. Samples turn yellow when coliforms are present, and fluoresce to indicate the presence of E. coli. Colilert can be used for presence/absence testing or quantification using IDEXX Quanti-Tray or multiple-tube MPN.

Snap Pack Technology Colilert, Colilert-18, Colisure and Enterolert reagents come in snap packs. This packaging allows for easy, compact storage of our reagents at room temperature. Our five-across format requires minimal shelf space and offers a wide spout for fast, easy pouring. The plastic casing acts as a moisture barrier, preserving the product without the need for refrigeration. To make your compliance documentation easily traceable, weve printed a lot number and expiration date at the top of each snap pack.

Quanti-Tray Technology IDEXXs Quanti-Tray is an innovative advance in bacterial enumeration. When used with IDEXX reagents, Quanti-Tray provides an automatic sample handling system to produce bacterial counts with membrane filtration accuracy for both coliforms and E. coli. Quanti-Tray eliminates subjective colony interpretation and timeconsuming confirmation. The need for making manual dilutions of heavily contaminated water samples is greatly reduced because the maximum counting range of 200 for Quanti-Tray and 2,419 for Quanti-Tray/2000 far exceeds that of traditional methods. With a total hands-on time of under 1 minute per sample, Quanti-Tray is not only a faster and far simpler method, it is also extremely cost-effective.

Filta-Max Technology Filta-Max is specifically designed to optimize the capture and the recovery of waterborne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The filter module comprises multiple layers of open-cell foam discs, which, when compressed, trap the Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts. Unlike conventional depth filters, the (oo)cysts, once captured, remain captured until they are released during the washing process. The (oo)cysts are eluted by allowing the foam discs to expand and backwashing them with buffer.
