Product Description
Motility Sulphide Medium is a specialized microbiological agar designed for dual-purpose testing: assessing bacterial motility and detecting sulfide production. This medium is widely used in clinical and research laboratories to identify organisms like Salmonella and Proteus species, which exhibit characteristic motility patterns and sulfide generation.
The medium contains key components like peptone for nutrient support, sodium thiosulfate as a sulfide source, and ferrous ammonium sulfate to detect hydrogen sulfide production (indicated by blackening of the medium). Its semi-solid consistency allows for clear observation of motility through the agar.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher validating microbial traits, this medium ensures reliable results. Need a trusted supplier for lab-grade media? eqipped offers authentic Motility Sulphide Medium with fast shipping across India.
FAQs
What is Motility Sulphide Medium used for?
It detects bacterial motility and sulfide production, aiding in the identification of organisms like Salmonella and Proteus.
How do I interpret results?
Motility is seen as diffuse growth from the stab line. Sulfide production turns the medium black due to ferrous sulfide formation.
Can I buy Motility Sulphide Medium in smaller quantities?
Yes, eqipped offers 100g and 500g packs for flexibility in lab use.
What’s the shelf life of this medium?
The powder has a 2-year shelf life when stored properly. Prepared plates should be used within 1 month.
Is this medium suitable for student labs?
Absolutely. Its clear results make it ideal for educational demonstrations of motility and biochemical tests.
