Official basis (Method): ISO 11731 is a culture enumeration standard. It does not make direct fluorescence on water an equivalent quantitative compliance method.
Procurement note: This is a non-staining culture entry. Supplies are typical core items; the controlled ISO method specifies the exact media, supplements, sample pretreatment and confirmation route. No culture conditions or preparation recipe are supplied here.
