LMC Concentrated Broth (DEV)

The concentrated LMC broth is based on Lactose-Peptone broth as described in the German Drinking Water Regulation (DEV, DIN 38411) and the Mineral- and Table Water Regulation (MwTVO) for the analysis of E.coli and coliform bacteria in water. LMC is 10-fold concentrated and a sample quantity of 250 mL water can be added directly into the original bottle. After mixing with the water sample, the broth attains the required concentration (double concentrated) and is ready for immediate incubation.

• Ready to use – the water sample is added directly to the concentrate in the sterile bottle
• Universally applicable – selective broth for direct detection
• Reliable result after two days – clear detection as indicator changes from purple to yellow

LMC concentrated broth is suitable for your qualitative analysis of:
• drinking water
• spring water
• mineral and table water
• well water
• rinsing water
• smear swabs
