Product Description
When it comes to detecting Salmonella in food, water, or clinical samples, accuracy and speed are crucial. HiCrome® Improved Salmonella HiCynth® Agar from Himedia is a highly selective chromogenic medium designed specifically for this purpose. This advanced formulation provides clear differentiation of Salmonella colonies, making identification faster and more reliable than traditional methods.
The unique chromogenic substrate in this agar produces distinct colony colors, allowing microbiologists to easily distinguish Salmonella from other bacteria. This eliminates the need for additional confirmatory tests in many cases, saving valuable time in laboratory workflows. The medium’s selective properties inhibit the growth of most non-Salmonella organisms, ensuring cleaner results.
For research laboratories, food testing facilities, and educational institutions, this agar offers an excellent balance of sensitivity and specificity. The 500gm pack size provides sufficient quantity for multiple tests while maintaining freshness. Whether you’re conducting routine quality control or investigating potential outbreaks, this medium delivers consistent performance.
Upgrade your Salmonella detection protocol with this premium chromogenic medium. Order your 500gm pack today for reliable results in every test.
One of the key advantages of this medium is its ability to detect both typical and atypical Salmonella strains. The improved formulation enhances recovery rates while maintaining high selectivity. This makes it particularly valuable in food safety testing where diverse Salmonella serotypes may be present.
The agar’s performance has been validated against international standards, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for food safety testing. Laboratories using this medium can have confidence in their results when reporting to authorities or clients.
For educational purposes, this medium provides an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating selective and differential media concepts. Students can clearly observe the chromogenic reaction and understand how modern microbiological techniques improve upon traditional methods.
When you buy Salmonella agar online from eqipped, you’re getting a product that combines Himedia’s reputation for quality with our commitment to serving the Indian scientific community.

FAQs
What makes HiCrome® Improved Salmonella HiCynth® Agar better than traditional Salmonella detection media?
This advanced chromogenic medium provides faster, more accurate results by producing distinct colony colors that eliminate the need for additional confirmatory tests in most cases. The improved formulation also enhances recovery rates for both typical and atypical Salmonella strains.
Can this agar detect all Salmonella serotypes?
While highly effective against most Salmonella serotypes, no single medium can detect all possible variants. This agar has been validated against major serotypes commonly associated with foodborne illness and clinical infections.
What is the shelf life of the prepared agar plates?
When stored properly at 2-8°C, prepared plates maintain optimal performance for up to 4 weeks. Always check for signs of contamination or drying before use.
Is this medium suitable for environmental sampling?
Yes, this agar is excellent for environmental sampling in food processing facilities, water treatment plants, and other settings where Salmonella monitoring is required.
How does the chromogenic reaction work in this medium?
The medium contains specific substrates that Salmonella enzymes act upon, producing colored compounds. This chromogenic reaction creates the distinctive colony appearance that makes identification straightforward.
