Product Description
Bile Esculin Agar Plate is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and identification of enterococci. These pre-poured plates contain bile salts and esculin, which inhibit gram-negative bacteria while allowing enterococci to grow and hydrolyze esculin, producing a characteristic blackening of the medium. This makes them ideal for clinical, food, and environmental microbiology applications.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, these plates provide consistent results for enterococcus detection. The 50-plate pack ensures you have enough for multiple experiments or batch testing. eqipped offers high-quality Bile Esculin Agar Plates at competitive prices, making them a reliable choice for labs across India.

Bile Esculin Agar is widely used in microbiology labs for its ability to differentiate enterococci from other bacteria. The presence of bile salts suppresses the growth of gram-negative organisms, while esculin hydrolysis by enterococci leads to the formation of a black precipitate, confirming their presence. This makes the medium invaluable for diagnostic and research purposes.
For researchers working on antimicrobial resistance or food safety testing, these plates are an essential tool. The pre-poured format saves time and ensures consistency, eliminating the need for manual preparation. eqipped ensures that each batch meets stringent quality standards, so you can trust the results every time.
