M-Endo Agar LES 500gm HiMedia

M-Endo Agar LES 500gm by HiMedia is a selective microbiological culture medium designed for the isolation and enumeration of coliform bacteria, especially in water and food samples. Laboratories commonly use this medium in membrane filtration techniques to detect and count coliform organisms in drinking water, wastewater, and environmental samples.

The medium contains selective ingredients that inhibit non-coliform bacteria while allowing coliform organisms to grow effectively. As a result, microbiologists can easily identify coliform colonies based on their distinct color and colony morphology.

Additionally, M-Endo Agar LES plays an important role in water quality monitoring and microbiological testing, making it a standard medium for environmental and public health laboratories.

Key Features

• Selective Culture Medium – Supports the growth of coliform bacteria while inhibiting unwanted microorganisms

• Ideal for Membrane Filtration Technique – Widely used for coliform enumeration in water testing

• Indicator System – Produces characteristic colony color for easy identification

• High-Quality Dehydrated Culture Media – Manufactured by HiMedia for reliable microbiological results

• Suitable for Water and Food Testing – Commonly used in environmental and food microbiology labs

Product Specifications

Applications

The M-Endo Agar LES medium is widely used in microbiology laboratories for:

• Enumeration of coliform bacteria in drinking water

• Water quality testing in environmental monitoring

• Wastewater and sewage analysis

• Food microbiology testing

• Public health laboratory investigations

Furthermore, the medium allows researchers to easily identify coliform colonies by their characteristic appearance, which helps ensure accurate microbial analysis.

Colony Interpretation

When samples grow on M-Endo Agar LES, coliform bacteria typically produce distinct colonies with characteristic coloration or sheen. Therefore, microbiologists can quickly identify and count coliform organisms during laboratory analysis.

Storage Instructions

• Store the dehydrated medium in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption.

• Protect from direct sunlight and humidity.

✅ Ideal for: microbiology laboratories, water testing laboratories, environmental monitoring centers, food testing labs, research institutes, and universities.
