Colisure®

 
 

Scientific Basis: How Colisure Works


Colisure® uses Defined Substrate Technology® (DST®) nutrient indicators CPRG and MUG to detect total coliforms and E.coli. Coliforms use their β-galactosidase enzyme to metabolize CPRG and change it from yellow to magenta. E.coli use β-glucuronidase to metabolize MUG and create fluorescence.
