Monitoring coliform bacteria in a Piedmont river arising from the Appalachian region of Northern Georgia - Quality Control

Quality control is maintained by using sterile technique, collecting duplicate samples, and analyzing split samples using membrane filtration methods. Total coliform, E. coli, and fecal coliform bacteria are intermittently analyzed using the standard membrane filtration methods. Total coliform and E. coli filters are incubated in HACH's m-Coliblue24 broth.
