m-Endo LES Agar, 20mL, 60 x 15mm Plates, 10/Pk is a selective and differential medium formulated for the detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria, including Escherichia coli, in water samples using the membrane filtration method. The medium contains lactose, sodium lauryl sulfate, and sodium deoxycholate to suppress non-target organisms while promoting the growth of Gram-negative, lactose-fermenting coliforms, which produce red colonies with a characteristic metallic sheen.
The compact 60 x 15mm plate format is ideal for applications requiring smaller membrane supports or space-saving incubation, while still providing the full 20mL fill volume for optimal colony development. Each plate is pre-poured, sterile, and ready for immediate use in drinking water, wastewater, and environmental microbiology testing workflows.
- 20mL fill in 60 x 15mm sterile plate format
- Designed for membrane filtration-based coliform detection
- Produces red colonies with metallic sheen for easy E. coli identification
- Selective agents inhibit Gram-positive and non-coliform organisms
- Supplied in packs of 10 for routine water quality and environmental testing
This medium meets the performance criteria outlined in EPA, APHA, and Standard Methods guidelines and is a critical component in validated microbial monitoring programs.
