Sample Preparation
For indicator organisms (TC, EC, YM and XSA)
For indicator organisms (TC, EC, YM and XSA)
- For samples with low microbial load – Weigh standardized samle size (e.g 10g or 25g). Place in a sterile container, then add the appropriate volume of sterile diluent (e.g. 90mL or 225ml of Maximum Recovery Diluent (MRD) or 0.1% Peptone Water. Agitate to dissolve. Filter 100mL of liquid sample using a 47mm membrane filter with 0.45µm pore size.
- For samples with high microbal load or darkly colored – Weigh standardized sample size (e.g. 10g or 25g). Place in a sterile container, then add the appropriate volume of sterile diluent (e.g. 90ml or 225ml of MRD or 0.1% Peptone Water).
For Pathogen (Salmonella – SL) – Weigh 25g and dilute with 225ml sterile Buffered Peptone Water (BPW).

Like other tests that rely on β-Glucuronidase activity to detect E.Coli, CompactDryTM EC cannot detect E.coli O157:H7 as an E.coli.
