Product Description
Bile Esculin HiCynth® Agar is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and identification of enterococci and group D streptococci. This agar is widely used in clinical and research laboratories due to its ability to differentiate bacteria based on their ability to hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile salts.
The medium contains bile salts that inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, while esculin hydrolysis by target organisms produces a characteristic blackening of the medium. This makes it an essential tool for diagnostic microbiology, particularly in identifying pathogens in clinical samples.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this agar provides reliable results for your microbiology experiments. The 500 gm pack size ensures you have an ample supply for multiple tests, making it a cost-effective choice for labs with frequent testing needs.
