About test kit Swiss Labs have developed this easy to use kit for detecting harmful E.Coli bacteria in water at very low levels which meet and even exceed the recommended level set by US regulator (EPA). The kit is portable for home and outdoor use for a variety of water sources such as taps, bottles, wells, spa’s and pools etc.. This kit is a complete solution which includes everything required to safely test your water supply without the need for lab testing. How to use this kit A test tube and special buffer solution is used along with reagent test strips as a detection mechanism. Within ten minutes of coming into contact with a contaminated water sample the test strips will chemically react (change colour) indicating the presence of harmful bacteria. If results are positive then an additional quantitive test can be carried out using the same test kit to determine what level of E-Coli contamination is present. Specification (contents) This kit is designed to allow 2 complete tests to be carried out, the following equipment is included: 2 x reagent strips 2 x test tubes 2 x pipettes 1 x bottle of lysate fluid 1 x instruction leaflet and colour chart. About E-Coli Escherichia coli (E.coli) is a member of the total coliform group of bacteria found in the intestines of mammals, including humans. The presence of E.coli in water indicates recent faecal contamination and may indicate the presence of disease-causing pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Certain strains of E-Coli may cause illness if a person is exposed to a contaminated water source. This can lead to gastrointestinal illness, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic, and wound infections. However the most commonly reported symptoms are stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and low-grade fever. Regularly test your water supply to stay safe and if in doubt seek professional advice!

Still wasn't 100 % Sure
The instructions were a bit difficult to know if you did it right. They said add 3 drops to the test tube, but 3 drops did not equal .40ml then add .1 ml water. The lines on the test tube were hard to read . After 10 mins the color strip showed no e coli, but I added more of the lystate than the instructions called for just to make .5ml total volume. So there was the nagging thought in my mind that I did it wrong thus a bad reading. The support people did promptly respond the next day. Long story short I ended up using Well Safe to treat the well so avoid the effects of e coli. in the water.

Effective test.
Used for a science project. Worked as advertised.
