EC Broth

EC Broth is a selective liquid culture medium used for the detection and confirmation of Escherichia coli in water
, wastewater, food, and hygiene-related samples.
It is formulated in accordance with international standards (e.g., ISO, APHA) and supports the growth of E.
coli at elevated incubation temperatures (typically 44.5°C), enhancing selectivity.

This product is manufactured by BioLab and exclusively imported and distributed in Iran by Fardad Azma Rad Co.

Key Features and Composition:

• Tryptose and Peptones:
  Provide nitrogen, carbon, and essential growth factors

• Lactose:
  Sole carbohydrate source; fermentation by E. coli produces gas, indicating a positive result

• Buffered Phosphates:
  Maintain pH stability during incubation

• Elevated Incubation Temperature (44.5°C):
  Selective condition that favors E. coli growth while inhibiting other coliforms
