Product Overview
Lactose Blue HiCynth® Agar is a specialized medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of enteric bacteria. This high-quality agar is formulated to support the growth of lactose-fermenting bacteria while inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive organisms. The medium contains lactose, which is fermented by enteric bacteria, leading to the production of acid and gas. The pH indicator in the agar changes color in response to the acid produced, providing a clear visual indication of bacterial activity. This makes Lactose Blue HiCynth® Agar an essential tool for microbiologists and researchers involved in bacterial identification and quality control.
