Bacteriological Test Vials Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-ELA-5422
Jlab Export is a leading Bacteriological Test Vials Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Bacteriological Test Vials (code EL-ELA-5422) are sterilised vials with a culture medium already inside, used to check drinking water for bacterial contamination and give a simple presence/absence result. They follow the low-cost field test for faecal contamination of drinking water reported by Manja and colleagues in 1982, so the test can be run without a microbiology laboratory. They are made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Are Bacteriological Test Vials Used For?
Faecal contamination is a key microbiological risk in drinking water, and a presence/absence screen shows quickly whether a water sample carries evidence of it. The method behind these vials was devised to meet the need for a simple, reliable field test that village public health workers could use: the vials are prepared in a central laboratory with the medium in place, then taken to the field, where minimally trained staff can run the test without a microbiology lab or a field laboratory kit. They suit drinking-water checks in the field and college microbiology and environmental science courses on water hygiene.
The vials are for water testing, not for medical purposes, and the test itself is carried out as set out in the instruction manual supplied with the kit.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of kits you need for your survey, field programme or class.
- The expiry date you require on the batch, given the time between delivery and use.
- Any other water-testing or microbiology lab equipment to be quoted on the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do bacteriological test vials detect?
Bacterial contamination of drinking water, with the test designed to pick up evidence of faecal contamination. The answer is a presence or absence result.
Do the vials give a bacterial count?
No. They give presence/absence only, so a positive vial shows contamination but not how much; a laboratory count method is needed for numbers.
Can the test be done without a laboratory?
Yes. The method was developed so that it can be performed in the absence of a typical microbiology laboratory, by minimally trained staff in the field, using vials prepared beforehand in a central lab.
What comes with the kit?
The listing describes ready-to-use reagents, with the medium incorporated in sterilised vials, and a detailed instruction manual.
What should an export enquiry include?
The number of kits, the destination country and port or city, the delivery terms you prefer (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling instructions, and the tender reference when there is one.
Who manufactures these test vials?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes them at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of educational laboratory apparatus and microbiology lab equipment, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The test vials are prepared at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, water programmes, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker for first orders and repeat batches. JLab exports worldwide and ships to every region — for example Japan in East Asia, Nepal in South Asia, Mauritius in East Africa, Algeria in North Africa and Ecuador in South America. Tender documents and enquiries are covered on the JLab lab tenders page.
