Product Description
Brilliant Green HiCynth® Agar Base, Modified is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of Salmonella species. This high-quality agar base, manufactured by Himedia, is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for its reliability in suppressing non-target bacteria while promoting the growth of Salmonella.
The modified formulation includes brilliant green dye, which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria, making it an essential tool for microbiologists. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this agar base ensures accurate and consistent results in your experiments.
At eqipped, we provide lab-grade supplies tailored for Indian researchers and institutions. This product is ideal for educational purposes, routine microbiological testing, and research applications where precision matters.
Key Applications
Brilliant Green HiCynth® Agar Base is primarily used for:
- Isolation of Salmonella from clinical and environmental samples
- Differentiation of Salmonella spp. in mixed cultures
- Quality control in food and water microbiology
- Educational demonstrations in microbiology labs
Its selective properties make it a preferred choice for laboratories focusing on pathogen detection and microbial identification.
Why This Agar Base Stands Out
Unlike standard agar media, this modified version offers enhanced selectivity due to the inclusion of brilliant green dye. The formulation ensures that only Salmonella and a few other resistant bacteria can grow, reducing false positives in your tests. This makes it a cost-effective and efficient solution for diagnostic and research purposes.

Usage Guidelines
To prepare the medium, suspend 500 gm of the powder in 1 liter of distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve completely, then sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C before pouring into sterile Petri dishes. Store the prepared medium at 2-8°C for up to 30 days.
Always follow standard microbiological practices when handling and disposing of cultures to maintain lab safety.
