48-hour bacteria in water test kit Pro-Lab Bacteria in Water Test Kit identifies dangerous bacteria such as coli form and E. coli quickly, easily and accurately. This kit offers two types of examination methods. The first method simply involves counting the number of colonies that are growing in the petri dish at home. The second method (which is optional) requires sending the petri dish to PRO-LAB for a more exact count and type of bacteria. When the at-home water test is complete, simply place the petri dish, with water sample, in a padded envelope or box along with the filled out data card and return to Pro–Lab with a $30 required lab fee. An easy to read evaluation indicating the exact count and type of bacteria present will be returned to you within two weeks.
