Product Overview
Crystal Violet Lactose Broth is a specialized medium used in microbiology for the differentiation of bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose. This broth is formulated with crystal violet dye, which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while allowing Gram-negative bacteria to grow and ferment lactose. The presence of lactose fermentation is indicated by a color change in the broth, making it a valuable tool for identifying and differentiating bacterial species. The high-quality ingredients ensure reliable and consistent results, making it a trusted choice for laboratories, educational institutions, and research facilities. The broth is easy to use and provides clear, interpretable results, making it an essential component of any microbiology lab.
