Oxoid™ M-Endo Agar (500g) is a selective and differential medium used for the enumeration and identification of coliform bacteria in water samples by the membrane filtration method. It supports the growth of coliforms while inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive organisms, making it ideal for routine water quality testing, particularly in compliance with drinking water standards.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria in water samples using membrane filtration techniques
• Composition: Contains peptones, lactose, sodium lauryl sulphate, and basic fuchsin to support coliform growth and differentiate lactose fermenters by colour change
• Preparation: Suspend 48g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and sterilise by boiling or heating to dissolve completely; do not autoclave
• Yield: Approximately 10.4 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Conforms to standard methods for water testing and is suitable for regulatory microbiological monitoring
