Product Description
MacConkey Agar without CV, with 0.5% Sodium Taurocholate is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria. This formulation, enriched with sodium taurocholate, enhances the growth of certain enteric pathogens while inhibiting Gram-positive organisms. It is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for identifying lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting bacteria.
This medium is particularly useful in diagnostic microbiology, food testing, and environmental monitoring. The absence of crystal violet (CV) makes it suitable for applications where CV sensitivity is a concern. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this high-quality agar ensures reliable results in your experiments.
