Product Description
Kligler Iron HiCynth® Agar is a specialized medium designed for the differential identification of enteric bacteria, particularly those involved in carbohydrate fermentation and hydrogen sulfide production. This agar is widely used in clinical and research laboratories to distinguish between organisms like Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli based on their metabolic activities.
The medium contains lactose and glucose as fermentable carbohydrates, along with sodium thiosulfate and ferric ammonium citrate to detect hydrogen sulfide production. The inclusion of phenol red as a pH indicator allows for easy visualization of acid production, with yellow indicating fermentation and red indicating no fermentation.
This 500gm pack from Himedia ensures consistent performance and reliability, making it ideal for routine microbiological testing. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this agar provides clear and interpretable results for your experiments.
