Hach's PathoScreen Medium Presence/Absence Powder Pillows detect waterborne pathogens associated with fecal contamination of water sources.
PathoScreen Medium detects the presence of hydrogen sulfide-producing bacteria including Salmonella, Citrobacter, Proteus, Edwardsiella and some species of Klebsiella. The sterilized powder medium is a reliable medium for monitoring drinking water systems in developing tropical countries, in remote field locations and in disaster or emergency situations.
PathoScreen Medium is dehydrated, sterilized and packaged in powder pillows. Powder pillows are available for both Presence/Absence (P/A) and Most Probable Number (MPN) testing. Each powder pillow contains enough medium for one test.

Most of the streams studied didn’t show signs of recovery.

And scientists don’t know why. “It’s just unusual. I don’t know if it’s extreme for the state of Montana as other systems have had Cladophora problems as well. But it’s most unusual due to the lack of land use changes,” said Chace Bell, a water quality assessment specialist with the Montana DEQ.
