Product Description
Agar Strip – MA (MacConkey-Agar) is a convenient and reliable tool for detecting coliform bacteria in laboratory settings. These strips are pre-poured with MacConkey-Agar, a selective medium that inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while allowing coliforms to thrive. The presence of bile salts and crystal violet in the agar further enhances selectivity, making it ideal for water, food, and environmental testing.
Each pack contains 20 strips, ensuring you have enough for multiple tests without frequent reordering. The strips are easy to use—simply inoculate and incubate to observe bacterial growth. The differential properties of MacConkey-Agar help distinguish between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting bacteria, providing clear results for your experiments.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, these agar strips simplify bacterial testing. They are perfect for microbiology labs, educational institutions, and research facilities. With eqipped, you can buy agar strips online and get them delivered quickly to your doorstep.
