Product catalog summary
Product Overview
BioMed Diagnostics' InTray™ Colorex™ ECC is a microbiology device designed for the collection, transport, and culture of Escherichia coli and other coliforms. It combines several procedures into one device, allowing for simultaneous growth, observation, and chromogenic differentiation, which saves time and reduces exposure to samples.
Key Benefits
  • High Throughput: No additional culture preparation is needed after inoculation.
  • Cost Savings: Reduces laboratory materials and medical waste.
  • High Specificity: Selective growth for E. coli and other coliforms.
  • Convenience: Combines collection, culture, and observation in one device.
  • Ease of Use: Minimal lab procedures and equipment required.
  • Storage: 6-month shelf life under refrigeration (2-8 °C).
  • Safety: Fully enclosed system prevents contamination.
Product Specifications
  • Storage: Refrigeration (2-8 °C).
  • Shelf Life: 6 months.
  • Incubation: 18-24 hours at 37 °C.
  • Packaging: Available in 5 Pack (10-7407) and 20 Pack (10-7401).
Usage Instructions
Before inoculation, bring the InTray™ to room temperature. To inoculate, remove the protective seal, place the specimen on the medium, and reseal the tray. Incubate at 37°C for total coliforms or 44°C for fecal coliforms. Visual results are available within 18-24 hours.
Detection and Quality Control
The medium produces distinctive colony growth for easy identification of E. coli and other coliforms. Quality control tests ensure viability and sterility throughout the product's shelf life.
Background
Coliforms, including E. coli, are indicators of water and food quality. The presence of these bacteria can indicate contamination from various sources. The InTray™ ECC aids in the detection and differentiation of these organisms, reducing the need for further testing.
Corporate Overview
BioMed Diagnostics, Inc. is a biotech firm specializing in in vitro diagnostic devices. Founded in 1989, the company provides diagnostic tools for use in various environments, supporting medical professionals and scientists globally.

InTray™ Colorex™ ECC-1

For the simultaneous detection, chromogenic differentiation, and enumeration of E. coli and other coliforms in food or water samples VALUE High Throughput - Once the device is inoculated no other culture preparation is required saving time Cost Savings - Reduces laboratory materials and medical waste High specificity - Selective for the growth of E. coli and other coliforms including all lactose positive organisms BENEFITS Convenient - Combines collection, culture, and observation into one device Easy to use - Minimal lab procedures and equipment needed Easy to store - 6 month shelf life under refrigeration (2-8 °C) Easy observation - No fogging or condensation on the InTray™ viewing window Safe - Fully enclosed InTray™ system prevents contamination and reduces exposure to collected samples PRODUCT SPECIFICS Storage - Refrigeration (2-8 °C) Shelf Life - 6 months Incubation - 18 - 24 hours at 37 °C Quantity Sold -5 Pack (10-7407) 20 Pack (10-7401) PRODUCT BIO BioMed Diagnostics' InTray™ Colorex™ ECC test serves as a microbiology sample collection, transport, and culture device allowing for simultaneous growth, observation, and chromogenic differentiation of Escherichia coli and other coliforms. BioMed’s patented InTray™ system saves time and money while reducing exposure to collected samples by combining several procedures into a single device. The patented InTray™ system consists of a re-closable outer seal containing an optically clear, anti-fog window, which creates an airtight 2” diameter chamber with a large enough area to streak for isolation. The innovative design of the InTray™ high-performance viewing window makes it possible to place the device directly under a microscope removing the need to prepare slides and prevents unnecessary exposure of the sample after inoculation. BioMed’s InTray™ system negates the need for multiple procedures increasing throughput and decreasing the cost of laboratory materials and medical waste. Additionally, the InTray™ design lends itself to high performance not only in laboratory and controlled point-of-care settings, but also off-site locations or austere environments. The InTray™ Colorex™ ECC test is a fully enclosed system and does not require any reagents or complicated procedures to inoculate or obtain results. The InTray™ system is also equipped with a small air filter creating a controlled air exchange. The InTray™ system is ideal for use in the field and in austere environments due to its low reliance on laboratory equipment. The InTray™ Colorex™ ECC makes preliminary detection easy by producing distinctive color and morphology differences between the growth of E. coli and other coliforms. This includes all lactose positive organisms within as little as 18-24 hours. The InTray™ Colorex™ ECC inhibits the growth of mold, fungi, and grampositive bacteria, increasing specificity. The specially formulated chromogenic media makes detection and preliminary visual identification easy, while inhibiting potential interference in obtaining accurate results. Visual Results: • E. coli - Blue • Other Coliforms - Mauve • Other Bacteria - Colorless or inhibited QUALITY CONTROL The InTray™ Colorex™ ECC is tested with ATCC™ strains of the indicated species. At the time of manufacture, quality control tests are preformed on each lot of InTray™ Colorex™ ECC to ensure viability, doubling time, and sterility. These tests are repeated throughout the product shelf life by BioMed Diagnostics confirming the ability to support growth of selected species while maintaining specificity.
