Product Description
HiCrome Enterobacter sakazakii HiVeg Agar is a specialized medium designed for the selective isolation and identification of Enterobacter sakazakii, a pathogen of concern in food safety and clinical microbiology. This agar contains chromogenic substrates that allow for easy differentiation of target organisms based on colony color, making it ideal for research, quality control, and diagnostic laboratories.
The HiVeg formulation ensures high sensitivity and specificity, reducing false positives while enhancing the detection of Enterobacter sakazakii. Whether you’re working in food microbiology, environmental testing, or clinical diagnostics, this agar provides reliable results with minimal background interference.

Our HiCrome Enterobacter sakazakii agar is manufactured by Himedia, ensuring consistent performance and adherence to international quality standards.
Key Applications
This agar is widely used in:
- Food safety testing for infant formula and dairy products
- Clinical microbiology for pathogen identification
- Environmental monitoring in pharmaceutical and food processing facilities
- Research studies on bacterial contamination and resistance
Why This Agar Stands Out
Unlike conventional media, HiCrome Enterobacter sakazakii HiVeg Agar offers distinct advantages:
- Chromogenic differentiation for quick visual confirmation
- High selectivity to suppress non-target flora
- Vegetable-based formulation for ethical and sustainable lab practices
- Ready-to-use powder format for easy preparation

Preparation and Storage
To prepare the agar, suspend 36.5 grams of the powder in 1 liter of distilled water. Heat gently while stirring 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 agar at 2-8°C in a dark, dry place. The powder has a shelf life of 24 months when stored under recommended conditions.
Safety and Handling
This product is for laboratory use only. Follow standard microbiological safety protocols when handling. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and dispose of waste according to local regulations.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of HiCrome Enterobacter sakazakii HiVeg Agar?
The powder has a shelf life of 24 months when stored at 2-8°C in a dry, dark environment.
Can this agar be used for other Enterobacter species?
While optimized for Enterobacter sakazakii, it may support the growth of related species, but chromogenic differentiation is specific to the target organism.
How does the chromogenic substrate work?
The agar contains enzymes that react with bacterial metabolites, producing distinct colony colors for easy identification.
Is this agar suitable for automated systems?
Yes, its chromogenic properties make it compatible with automated colony counters and imaging systems.
