Clean, safe water is vital for public health and environmental protection. In Europe and the UK, monitoring programs follow the EU Drinking Water Directive (2020/2184) and national standards. Across drinking water, industrial systems and wastewater monitoring, accurate detection of waterborne pathogens such as total coliforms, faecal coliforms, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp, Legionella pneumophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is essential for regulatory compliance and consumer safety.
Redipor, part of the AnalytiChem portfolio, provides dependable, ready-to-use media designed by experts to ensure confidence in every result. There are many reasons why labs choose Redipor when testing for waterborne pathogens:
- Proven reliability: Trusted, high-quality Redipor formulations such as Plate Count Agar, R2A, MacConkey and XLD Agar deliver consistent growth for confident enumeration and identification.
- Longer shelf life: With validated stability of up to 112 days on key media, Redipor products reduce waste, lower costs and support more efficient inventory management compared with other brands.
