Product Description
When it comes to microbiology research, having reliable and high-quality culture media is essential. The HiCombi™ CLED – MacConkey Agar Plate from Himedia is designed to meet the needs of students, researchers, and educators who require precise bacterial isolation and identification. This agar plate combines the benefits of CLED (Cystine-Lactose-Electrolyte-Deficient) and MacConkey media, making it a versatile tool for detecting urinary tract infections and other bacterial infections.
Each pack contains 50 plates, ensuring you have an ample supply for your experiments or diagnostic work. The medium is formulated to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while promoting the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly lactose fermenters like E. coli. The inclusion of bile salts and crystal violet further enhances its selectivity, making it a trusted choice in clinical and research settings.
Whether you’re working in a university lab, a research facility, or a diagnostic center, these plates provide consistent results. The ready-to-use format saves time and reduces the risk of contamination, allowing you to focus on your work without worrying about media preparation.
