Product Description
Modified Pseudomonas Selective Agar with Cetrimide is a specialized microbiological medium formulated to selectively isolate and cultivate Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This agar contains cetrimide, a quaternary ammonium compound that inhibits the growth of most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while allowing Pseudomonas species to thrive. The twin-pack format ensures you have an ample supply for consistent lab work.
This medium is widely used in clinical, environmental, and research laboratories for identifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common pathogen in infections and a key indicator in water and food safety testing. The modified formula enhances selectivity and improves colony morphology for easier identification.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this agar provides reliable results for your microbiological studies. Buy Modified Pseudomonas Selective Agar online at eqipped for a seamless lab experience.
