Description

Detect Escherechia coli in water and food samples by a fluorogenic assay procedure with EC Medium w/MUG.

Detect coliforms by fluorogenic assay procedure from water, wastewater, and food samples with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ EC Medium w/MUG.

Hajna and Perry developed EC Medium to detect Escherichia coli and other coliforms1 in water, milk, shellfish, and other materials2. Feng and Hartman added 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide (MUG)3 to conventional coliform assays. This improved detection rates of E. coli as fluorescence could be detected within 4-24 hours.

EC Medium w/MUG is a liquid medium used to isolate and detect Escherechia coli. E. coli is an indicator organism that can indicate fecal contamination or unsanitary conditions.

  • Ready-to-use: Convenience of prepared media.
  • Selective: Bile inhibits some gram-positive cocci and sporeformers.
  • Easy-to-detect: Improved detection rates of E. coli due to fluorescence of 4-methylumbelliferone within 4-24 hours.
  • Recommended by American Public Health Association (APHA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA)4,5 for detection of coliforms in water, wastewater and food.

EC Medium w/MUG contains casein and meat peptones that supply amino acids, peptides and nitrogenous compounds required for growth of bacteria. Lactose acts as a ready source of energy and its fermentation leads to production of gas in the vial. Sodium chloride provides essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Dipotassium phosphate and monopotassium phosphate are buffers which help control the pH. MUG is hydrolyzed by glucuronidase and yields a fluorescent end product, 4-methylumbelliferone.
