A revolution in bacteria testing, the R-CARD® test method offers the most convenient, streamlined way to detect not only the presence of E. coli but also the number of colonies.

  • Completely self-contained, requiring almost no additional equipment
  • Extremely accurate and easy-to-understand results
  • Fast results in 15-24 hours (incubated)
  • E. coli will show up as green/turquoise dots


How It Works

Unlike most E. coli testing kits on the market, R-CARD® rapid tests require almost no additional equipment and offer an extremely easy user experience. Simply lift the R-CARD® E. coli clear film and deposit 3 mL of your liquid sample on the card. Then release the clear film so it can fall back on top of the card, covering your sample. Within 1-3 minutes, the liquid sample will solidify between the two layers. This prevents it from dripping or leaking, making R-CARD® rapid tests incredibly easy to transport and use in the field.

For the quickest results, it’s best to incubate your sample at 35±0.5°C for 15-24 hours. To read your results, simply count the number of green/turquoise dots which show the number of E. coli colonies.

Why R-CARD® Rapid Tests Are Better Than Competing Products

R-CARD® rapid tests offer a revolution in convenience without sacrificing accuracy. The cards are completely self-contained and don’t require Petri dishes, agar, or other gear that’s fragile and prone to leak. Simply place your sample on the card and wait 1-3 minutes for the liquid sample to solidify between the two layers. This prevents it from dripping or leaking. Cards can easily be stored in a coat or backpack pocket.

It’s also incredibly easy to read R-CARD® results. They not only detect the presence of E. coli but also the number of colonies. Simply count the number of green/turquoise dots that appear after the appropriate incubation period.


Additional Equipment Needed

While the R-CARD® rapid tests are completely self-contained, you will need a sterile dropper or syringe to dispense your liquid sample onto the card. Once your sample is collected, it’s recommended to use an incubator to rapidly decrease the time it takes to view results (15 to 24 hours with an incubator).
