Product Description
HiDip™ Phenol Red Dextrose Agar is a specialized medium designed for the detection of carbohydrate fermentation in bacteria and fungi. The phenol red indicator changes color based on pH shifts, making it easy to identify metabolic activity. This product is widely used in microbiology labs, educational institutions, and research facilities for quick and reliable results.
Each tube contains a pre-sterilized medium, eliminating the need for preparation and reducing contamination risks. The dextrose component serves as a fermentable sugar, while phenol red acts as a pH indicator, turning yellow under acidic conditions and pink under alkaline conditions. This makes it an essential tool for identifying microbial species based on their metabolic byproducts.
Whether you’re a student learning microbial metabolism or a researcher conducting experiments, HiDip™ Phenol Red Dextrose Agar provides consistent and accurate results. Its convenience and reliability make it a staple in labs across India.
