31. Test Required Sample Bottles
Coliforms, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Aerobic Colony Counts,
environmental mycobacteria
1 x sterile 500 ml plastic bottle containing
an appropriate neutraliser to neutralise
any residual disinfectant in the water.
(The most commonly used neutraliser,
which is appropriate for chlorinated or
brominated water systems and those
using ozone or hydrogen peroxide, is
sodium thiosulphate. For mains water and
hydrotherapy pools, 18 mg/L sodium
thiosulphate should be added. However,
for cooling towers, 180 mg/L (i.e.
sufficient to neutralise 50 mg chlorine per
litre) must be used. If alternative
disinfection methods are used, the
laboratory should be contacted to obtain
the appropriate neutraliser, if one is
available.)
Legionella (and other pathogenic bacteria
such as Salmonella, Campylobacter and E.
coli O157, where required)
1 x sterile 1 litre bottle
Or 2 x sterile 500 ml plastic bottles (as
above) (See note above regarding
neutralisers)
32. Test Required Sample Bottles
Endotoxin Designated “Pyrogen-free” containers
Chemical parameters Specific bottles should be requested from
laboratory depending on tests required
