As some of you may already know, Colitag is now EPA-approved for ground water testing, with the decision going into effect this past June 8 (click here to view the EPA’s official announcement). 

We are obviously thrilled about the EPA’s decision, which now gives state and private laboratories the ability to use the best E. coli and coliform detection test for this type of water.

Not only will these labs be able to take advantage of Colitag’s 16-48 hour window (the longest in the industry) if they use the medium for their ground water tests, but will also be using a medium that can detect both MUG-positive and MUG-negative E. coli, which plays a large role in Colitag sporting the lowest rate of false negative tests on the market.

Colitag is EPA-approved for drinking water testing in addition to ground water testing, and can be used to test food for E. coli and coliforms as well.

Log onto www.Colitag.com to find out more about the medium, and feel free to contact director of marketing Brian Yniguez at yniguezb@cpiinternational.com if you have any questions about Colitag and our EPA approval.
