Product Description
Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSI Agar) is a versatile microbiological medium designed for the differentiation of gram-negative enteric bacteria based on their ability to ferment sugars and produce hydrogen sulfide. This high-quality medium from Himedia is widely used in clinical, research, and educational laboratories for rapid bacterial identification.
The unique formulation contains three sugars—lactose, sucrose, and glucose—along with ferrous sulfate for H₂S detection. The slant and butt configuration allows for both aerobic and anaerobic observations, making it an essential tool for microbiologists.

FAQs
What bacteria can be identified using TSI agar?
TSI agar helps differentiate between various enteric bacteria including Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, Proteus species, and other gram-negative rods based on their sugar fermentation patterns and H₂S production.
How should I interpret TSI agar results?
Yellow slant/butt indicates glucose fermentation, red slant/butt indicates no fermentation, blackening indicates H₂S production, and gas bubbles indicate gas formation. Always compare with known control strains for accurate interpretation.
What’s the shelf life of prepared TSI agar?
Prepared and stored properly at 2-8°C, TSI agar slants maintain their efficacy for up to 4 weeks. Unprepared powder has a shelf life of 2 years when stored in original packaging.
Can I buy TSI agar in smaller quantities?
