Product Description
HiCrome® Coliform Agar w/ SLS is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of coliform bacteria. This agar is widely used in water testing, food safety, and environmental monitoring due to its high sensitivity and reliability. The inclusion of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) inhibits the growth of non-coliform bacteria, ensuring accurate results.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher validating water quality, this agar provides clear, easy-to-interpret results. The chromogenic substrate in HiCrome® Agar allows for visual differentiation of coliform colonies, making it a preferred choice in labs across India.
