Test detects and quantifies enterococci bacteria in 24 hours

IDEXX Laboratories Inc has launched Enterolert*-DW for the detection of enterococci bacteria in drinking water in Europe. The new test exceeds both the speed and the accuracy of conventional testing methods.

European regulations require testing for enterococci in drinking water, as well as for coliforms and E. coli. All are indicators of possible water contamination that could pose a health risk to humans.
