Product Description
Baird Parker Agar Medium is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus in food, dairy, and environmental samples. This medium is widely used in laboratories for quality control and research due to its high specificity and reliability.
The medium contains lithium chloride and tellurite, which inhibit the growth of most Gram-negative bacteria and other Gram-positive organisms, allowing S. aureus to grow as black, shiny colonies surrounded by a clear zone. This makes it easier to identify and count the bacteria accurately.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this medium is essential for microbiology experiments involving food safety testing, dairy product analysis, or general bacterial studies. The USP/EP/BP/IP grade ensures compliance with international pharmacopeia standards, making it suitable for both academic and industrial applications.
