Product Description
Bile Esculin Azide Agar Plate is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and identification of Group D Streptococci and Enterococci. This agar contains bile salts, esculin, and sodium azide, which inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria while allowing the target organisms to thrive. The hydrolysis of esculin by these bacteria produces a characteristic blackening of the medium, making identification straightforward.
These pre-poured plates are ideal for clinical laboratories, research institutions, and educational settings where accurate microbial detection is essential. Whether you’re conducting routine diagnostic tests or advanced microbiological research, this agar provides reliable results with minimal preparation time.
At eqipped, we ensure that each batch of Bile Esculin Azide Agar Plates meets stringent quality standards, so you can trust the consistency and performance of every plate. Perfect for students, researchers, and educators who need dependable microbiology supplies.
