Product Description
Salmonella Differential HiVeg® Agar is a specialized microbiological medium formulated to enhance the detection and differentiation of Salmonella species. Unlike traditional agar media, this HiVeg variant replaces animal-derived components with plant-based alternatives, making it ideal for vegan or ethical lab practices without compromising performance.
This agar medium contains selective agents and indicators that inhibit non-Salmonella bacteria while promoting the growth of target organisms. The differential properties allow for clear visual identification of Salmonella colonies, typically appearing as black or dark-centered colonies due to hydrogen sulfide production.
Whether you’re conducting food safety testing, clinical diagnostics, or research, this agar provides consistent and reliable results. The twin-pack format ensures you always have a backup, minimizing workflow disruptions in high-throughput labs.
