Product Description
Endo Agar w/ NaCl is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of coliform bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli and Enterobacter species. This formulation includes sodium chloride (NaCl) to enhance selectivity, making it ideal for water, food, and environmental testing.
The medium works by inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria while allowing coliforms to ferment lactose, producing characteristic pink to red colonies with a metallic sheen. This makes it easier to identify and enumerate coliforms in samples, ensuring accurate results in quality control and research settings.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this 500g pack provides a cost-effective solution for routine microbiological analysis. The powder form allows for easy preparation, and the medium is compatible with standard laboratory protocols.
