Coliform bacteria are mainly found in soils and in the intestines of warm-blooded animals. These bacteria can enter a water system due to runoff or other sources. Detectable levels of fecal coliforms, or more specifically, Escherichia coli (E. coli), can indicate that other fecal pathogens may be present.
Analytical methods target the identification and quantification of bacterial indicators, which are essential for assessing water quality and potential public health risks. UFI offers a rapid (18 hour or 24 hour), quantitative test of fecal coliforms or E.coli in order to allow clients to make informed decisions in a timely manner.
Tests marked as certified meet the rigorous standards set by the New York State Department of Health's Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP). Some tests may not carry ELAP certification simply because they are not covered under the program’s scope, but all analyses conducted by UFI adhere to high scientific and quality assurance standards to ensure reliable and accurate results.
