Product Description
MacConkey Agar Medium is a widely used selective and differential medium in microbiology labs. Designed to isolate and differentiate Gram-negative bacteria, it is particularly useful for identifying lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting organisms. The HiDip™ PCA version from Himedia ensures consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for students, researchers, and educators.
This medium contains bile salts and crystal violet, which inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while allowing Gram-negative bacteria to thrive. The inclusion of lactose and neutral red dye helps distinguish between lactose-fermenting colonies (pink/red) and non-fermenters (colorless). Whether you’re conducting experiments or teaching microbiology, this medium provides clear and accurate results.
