Product Name – M-Endo Agar LES Quantity/Pack Size – 500 gm Form – Powder Grade – Laboratory Grade Application – Bacterial isolation and identification
Product Overview
M-Endo Agar LES is a specialized medium designed for the isolation and identification of enteric bacteria, particularly those of the Enterobacteriaceae family. This agar is formulated to support the growth of gram-negative bacteria while inhibiting the growth of gram-positive bacteria and other contaminants. The medium contains lactose, which fermenting bacteria can metabolize, producing acid and changing the color of the agar. This color change helps in the presumptive identification of enteric pathogens. M-Endo Agar LES is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for its reliability and effectiveness in bacterial culturing. It is an essential tool for microbiologists, educators, and students involved in bacterial studies.
