Bacteria Testing, E-Coli-ONLY, Compact Dry Plates Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-WT-11453
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Bacteria Testing, E-Coli-ONLY, Compact Dry Plates (Product ID: 11453) as part of its Water Testing range under Water and Sanitation equipment. These are ready-to-use Compact Dry E. coli (EC_ONLY) Count plates for the bacteriological testing of drinking water, based on a direct-culture method for the rapid enumeration of Escherichia coli only.
Quick Answer
These Compact Dry E. coli plates contain a chromogenic enzyme substrate medium that turns blue in the presence of E. coli. A 1 mL diluted water sample is inoculated onto the centre of the self-diffusible medium, where it spreads by capillary action; after incubation at 35°C for 20–24 hours, the resulting colonies are counted directly with no further processing steps. The plates are pre-sterilized and ready to use, and can be stored at room temperature (1–30°C) without refrigeration.

Where These Plates Are Used
These Compact Dry plates are used to confirm E. coli contamination in drinking water samples as part of a bacteriological water-testing programme, pairing with an incubator such as Indian Lab Suppliers' Incubator, Portable, App. 1l, Mics Programme for the 35°C incubation step, and with sample-collection items such as the Sample Bottle, Plastic, 250ml, Barcode for tracked sample collection. Because refrigeration is not required, they suit field and school laboratory settings as well as fixed labs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do these plates test for?
Escherichia coli (E. coli) only — the medium's chromogenic substrate develops a blue colour specifically for E. coli colonies.
How is a test carried out?
A 1 mL diluted sample is inoculated onto the centre of the plate's self-diffusible medium, incubated at 35°C for 20–24 hours, and the resulting colonies are counted directly.
Do the plates need refrigeration?
No — they can be stored at room temperature, 1–30°C, and refrigerated storage is not required.
Are the plates pre-sterilized?
Yes. They are pre-sterilized and already contain the culture medium and a cold water-soluble gelling agent, so no additional medium preparation is needed.
Do you supply these plates for institutional or government tenders outside India?
Yes. Indian Lab Suppliers quotes water testing supplies for institutional and government tender buyers across West and Southern Africa, Latin America and other export markets — see the Tenders page for documentation requirements.
