Product/Process
National Environmental Engineering Research Institute has developed an Instrument for detecting faecal coliform contamination in water.
It is based on rapid multiple dilution technique for estimation of faecal coliforms by MPN method. Within 12 hr, faecal coliforms change colour of the medium from blue-green to yellow. The instrument weighs 15 kg and has overall dimensions of 34x25x46 cm including an incubator measuring 16x22x30 cm
Areas of Applications
It is used for rapid assessment of bacteriological contamination in water under field conditions.
Equipment \ Raw Materials
Instrument available from CSIR licensee.
Stage of Development
Fully developed and available commercially.
Economic Data
Rs. 6,000 per instrument.
