Descrizione

Descrizione generale

GranuCult^® plus Deoxycholate lactose agar is a selective agar for the enumeration and isolation of Coliform bacteria from milk, water, ice cream, and other materials. The concentrations of deoxycholate and citrate are so low that the coliform bacteria can grow normally, whereas the accompanying Gram-positive bacteria are inhibited. Degradation of lactose to acid is detected by the pH indicator neutral red, which changes its color to red, and by a zone of precipitation caused by bile acid.

Applicazioni

GranuCult^® plus Deoxycholate lactose agar is suitable for the enumeration and isolation of Coliform bacteria from milk, water, ice cream, and other materials.

Caratteristiche e vantaggi

• GranuCult^® offers superior granulated culture media
• Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment
• Excellent wettability, solubility, and free-flowing properties
• Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
• High batch-to-batch reproducibility
• Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
• High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
• Granulation technology allows many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately
