Product Description
DNase Test HiVeg Agar Base (MV741) is a specialized medium designed for the detection of DNase-producing microorganisms. This plant-based agar eliminates animal-derived components, making it suitable for vegan and ethical lab practices. The medium contains toluidine blue DNA, which, when degraded by DNase, results in a visible color change, confirming DNase activity.
This agar base is widely used in clinical microbiology, research labs, and educational institutions for identifying pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and other DNase-positive bacteria. Its reliable performance and ease of use make it a preferred choice for routine testing and academic experiments.
At eqipped, we ensure that every batch of DNase Test HiVeg Agar Base meets stringent quality standards, providing consistent results for your experiments. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this medium offers a dependable solution for DNase detection.
Key Applications
DNase Test HiVeg Agar Base is ideal for:
- Identifying DNase-producing bacteria in clinical samples
- Teaching microbiology concepts in educational labs
- Research applications requiring DNase activity confirmation
Why This Medium Stands Out
Unlike traditional DNAse agar, this HiVeg variant uses plant-derived ingredients, ensuring ethical sourcing without compromising performance. The toluidine blue DNA complex provides clear, interpretable results, making it user-friendly for both beginners and experienced professionals.

Usage Guidelines
To prepare the medium, suspend 28.5 grams of the powder in 1 liter of distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve completely, then sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C before pouring into sterile Petri dishes.
Inoculate the plates with test organisms and incubate at 37°C for 18-24 hours. Observe for a pink-to-colorless zone around colonies, indicating DNase activity.
Safety and Storage
Store the powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once prepared, the agar plates should be used within a week for optimal results. Handle with standard lab safety precautions, including gloves and a lab coat.
FAQs
What is DNase Test HiVeg Agar Base used for?
It is used to detect DNase-producing microorganisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, by observing a color change in the medium.
How does the DNase detection work?
The medium contains toluidine blue DNA. When DNase degrades the DNA, the blue color fades, creating a clear zone around DNase-positive colonies.
Is this agar suitable for vegan labs?
Yes, DNase Test HiVeg Agar Base is plant-based and free from animal-derived components.
What is the shelf life of this product?
The powder has a shelf life of 2 years when stored properly. Prepared plates should be used within a week.
Can I buy DNase Test HiVeg Agar Base in bulk?
Yes, eqipped offers bulk quantities for labs and institutions. Contact us for custom orders.
