Actero™ E. coli Enrichment Media

Food and environmental samples require enrichment before pathogen testing to amplify or grow any existing bacterial pathogens, making it easier to detect E. coli in test samples.

Both robust and versatile, Actero™ ELITE Enrichment Media works with a number of food pathogen testing systems including lateral flow, ELISA and PCR platforms.

The patented Actero™ ELITE Enrichment Media represents enhanced formulations that provides single-step enrichment, faster “time-to-results” and targeted accuracy. Actero™ UNIVERSAL Enrichment Media represents established formulations that can be used for standard E. coli testing protocols employed in today’s labs.
