Coliscan-MF is for use with membrane filters, and it allows the use of much larger test samples of any filterable liquid. This method is commonly used with potable water or treated wastewater that contains a low level of coliforms or E. coli . With this approach, the sample is filtered through a membrane filter. After the bacteria are collected on the surface of the filter, it is placed on a pad saturated with Coliscan-MF liquid medium in a petri dish. The colonies grow on the surface of the filter and are then counted.
Coliscan media are available as individual test units or in kits.
