BCP (Bromocresol Purple) Lactose Broth #3553414

Use BCP (Bromocresol Purple) Lactose Broth Tubes for presumptive identification and enrichment of total coliforms, including thermotolerant coliforms. Fermentation of lactose causes acidification of the broth, which causes the pH indicator BCP to change from purple to yellow. The color change of the medium and the generation of gas, due to fermentation, indicates the potential presence of coliforms. Further testing is required for confirmation and enumeration of total coliforms.
