Product Description
Lauryl Sulphate Broth, also known as Lauryl Tryptose Broth, is a widely used microbiological medium designed for the selective enrichment and detection of coliform bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli. This medium is essential in water testing, food safety, and environmental microbiology labs.
The formulation includes lauryl sulfate, which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, allowing coliforms to thrive. The broth supports the growth of E. coli, which produces gas from lactose fermentation, a key indicator in presumptive tests for fecal contamination.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher analyzing water samples, this medium ensures reliable results. eqipped provides high-quality Lauryl Sulphate Broth (M080) in a convenient 500 gm pack, perfect for routine lab use.
Key Applications
Lauryl Sulphate Broth is used in:
- Water quality testing for coliform contamination
- Food and dairy product safety analysis
- Environmental microbiology studies
- Educational labs for bacterial detection exercises
Why This Medium Matters
Coliform bacteria, especially E. coli, are indicators of fecal contamination in water and food. Using Lauryl Sulphate Broth helps identify potential health risks early, ensuring safety in public water supplies and food processing.
For accurate results, follow standard microbiological procedures when preparing and inoculating the medium. Always store the powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its efficacy.
