Product Description
Chapman Stone Medium is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and enumeration of staphylococci, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. This economy pack includes 50 pre-poured plates without membrane filters, making it a cost-effective choice for routine laboratory testing.
The medium contains high concentrations of sodium chloride (7.5%) and mannitol, which inhibit the growth of most bacteria while allowing staphylococci to thrive. The inclusion of phenol red as a pH indicator helps identify mannitol-fermenting colonies, which turn the medium yellow.
Ideal for clinical, food, and environmental microbiology labs, this medium is widely used in research, quality control, and educational settings. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this pack ensures consistent results for your experiments.
