Product Description
M-BCG Yeast & Mould Medium with TTC is a specialized medium designed for the selective detection and enumeration of yeast and mould in various samples. This medium incorporates TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride), which aids in the differentiation of yeast and mould colonies by producing a red coloration in metabolically active cells. The absence of a membrane filter makes it suitable for direct plating applications.
This medium is widely used in microbiology laboratories, food safety testing, and environmental monitoring. The formulation ensures optimal growth conditions for yeast and mould while inhibiting the growth of bacteria, making it a reliable choice for accurate microbial analysis.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this medium provides consistent results for your experiments. Need a reliable medium for yeast and mould detection? Order M-BCG Yeast & Mould Medium w/ TTC from eqipped today.
