  • Product typeEnvironmental & Mechanical
  • Detects coliform bacteria with a simple presence/absence result
  • Colour change shows contamination without lab equipment
  • 44 tests per kit for repeated monitoring
  • Replacement reagents available to extend kit life
  • Model 5850 designed for environmental water analysis

Water Test Kit for Coliform Bacteria

The Lamotte 5850 kit detects the presence or absence of total coliform bacteria in water samples. It uses a colorimetric test system that changes colour to indicate results. The package contains enough reagents and accessories to perform 44 individual tests. It is designed for environmental monitoring and mechanical testing applications.

Suits users needing a simple presence

This product fits technicians and field workers who require a straightforward pass-or-fail result for total coliforms. It does not serve users who need quantitative bacteria counts or identification of specific bacterial species. Buyers requiring laboratory-grade enumeration data should look at other methods.

Forty-four tests per kit

The 44-test capacity determines how many samples can be analysed before replenishment is required. Each kit includes one set of replacement reagents to support the full test count. This figure is the primary factor for planning project timelines and ongoing supply budgets.

Questions about this item

How do I run a coliform bacteria test with this kit and what step is often missed?

Add the water sample to the provided vial with reagent, incubate at the recommended temperature for the required period, then compare the colour change to the chart; the step often missed is maintaining the correct incubation temperature for the full duration.

What will need replacing after I use the 44 tests included with the Lamotte 5850 kit?

The kit supplies reagents and accessories for 44 tests; once those are used you will need replacement reagent packs to continue testing.

What is the detection limit of this coliform test under repeated use?

The test reports presence or absence of total coliforms rather than a numeric concentration, so the limit is a qualitative positive or negative result for each of the 44 tests.
