With thanks to Andrew Tonkin, SES Water for highlighting the missing publication from our Microbiology of Drinking Water Series. Part 4 – Methods for the Isolation and enumeration of coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli (including E. coli O157 H7) was published in 2016 and otherwise not published in our online Library. Thank you also to Jonathan Cannon, Drinking Water Inspectorate and Aleksandra Rafalska, Wessex Water Scientific Centre for also reporting this issue. Download Here!

The Standing Committee of Analysts (SCA) exists to provide authoritative guidance on methods of sampling and analysis of waters and effluents, sewage sludges and biota. Where appropriate, guidance on the sampling and analysis of air will also be produced. The primary duty of SCA will be to develop and publish recommended analytical methods. This will not include the provision of advice on, or interpretation of results. All methods published by the SCA should be capable of satisfying a regulatory demand, be fit for purpose and represent best practice within the United Kingdom (UK).
