Product Description
Alkaline Peptone Water is a specialized medium designed for the selective enrichment of Vibrio species, including Vibrio cholerae and other pathogenic strains. This high-quality formulation from Himedia (M618S-100G) provides optimal conditions for Vibrio growth, making it an essential tool in microbiology labs, research facilities, and educational institutions.
The medium’s alkaline pH (typically around 8.6) inhibits the growth of many non-Vibrio bacteria, allowing for targeted isolation. Peptone serves as a rich nitrogen source, supporting robust bacterial proliferation. Whether you’re conducting water quality testing, clinical diagnostics, or academic research, this medium ensures reliable and consistent results.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of precision in lab work. That’s why we offer this premium-grade Alkaline Peptone Water, trusted by professionals across India. Need a reliable Vibrio culture media? Order now and experience seamless delivery with eqipped.
