Product Name – MacConkey Agar with CV and without NaCl Quantity/Pack Size – 100 gm Form – Powder Grade – High Grade Application – Microbiology
Product Overview
MacConkey Agar with CV and without NaCl is a specialized culture medium designed for the isolation and differentiation of enteric bacteria. This agar is particularly effective in distinguishing between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting bacteria, making it an essential tool in microbiology laboratories. The inclusion of Crystal Violet (CV) inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, allowing for the selective growth of Gram-negative bacteria. This selective property makes it ideal for identifying pathogens such as E. coli and Salmonella. The absence of sodium chloride (NaCl) in this formulation ensures that it is suitable for a wide range of bacterial cultures without the risk of osmotic stress. This high-grade agar is manufactured under stringent quality control measures to ensure consistency and reliability in laboratory results.
