Application

EC O157 ChromoSelect Agar is a chromogenic medium for isolation and differentiation of E. coli O157 from food and environmental samples.

Preparation Note

Suspend 28.85 g in 1 liter distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE. Cool to 50°C and pour into sterile petri plates. This medium can be made more selective by aseptically adding 0.25 ml of 1% potassium tellurite solution (Cat. No. 17774) to 1 liter molten and cooled medium (45°C).
