Product Description
ONPG Broth is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the detection of β-galactosidase enzyme activity in bacterial cultures. This medium is widely used in clinical and research laboratories to identify organisms capable of hydrolyzing o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG), a chromogenic substrate.
The broth contains ONPG, which, when cleaved by β-galactosidase, releases o-nitrophenol, resulting in a yellow color change. This reaction helps in differentiating lactose-fermenting bacteria from non-fermenters, making it an essential tool for microbial identification.
At eqipped, we ensure that our ONPG Broth meets the highest quality standards, providing reliable results for your microbiological testing needs. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this medium is perfect for your lab experiments.
