m-Endo Agar Plates

Our m-Endo agar plates are formulated for the selective isolation and detection of coliform bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, in water and environmental samples. These media are widely used in membrane filtration methods and microbiological quality testing, where reliable coliform recovery is essential.

What are m-Endo agar plates?

m-Endo agar plates are selective and differential media used to detect and enumerate coliform bacteria, particularly in water quality testing. The formulation suppresses many non-target organisms while allowing coliforms to grow and produce characteristic colony appearances that aid identification.

 

Often referred to as LES Endo agar plates, these media are commonly used in conjunction with membrane filtration techniques for drinking water analysis, wastewater monitoring, environmental testing, and regulatory quality control. Their performance and standardized composition make them a trusted choice for laboratories conducting microbial water assessments.

Why choose Teknova’s m-Endo agar plates?

Our m-Endo agar plates are supplied as sterile, pre-poured plates, eliminating in-house media preparation and reducing experimental variability. Each batch is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent nutrient composition and dependable microbiological performance.

 

Our m-Endo agar plates are produced using validated manufacturing processes and quality control standards to ensure sterility, lot-to-lot consistency, and reliable results.
