Product Name – Phenol Red Adonitol Broth Quantity/Pack Size – 100gm Form – Liquid Grade – Laboratory Application – Microbiological Testing
Product Overview
Phenol Red Adonitol Broth is a specialized medium designed for the differentiation of enteric bacteria based on their ability to ferment adonitol. This broth is formulated with phenol red as an indicator, which changes color in response to pH changes caused by fermentation. The medium is particularly useful in clinical and research laboratories for identifying bacteria such as Salmonella and Shigella, which do not ferment adonitol, and Escherichia coli, which does. The high-quality ingredients ensure reliable and consistent results, making it an essential tool for microbiological studies and diagnostic procedures. Its precise formulation supports accurate identification and differentiation, aiding in both educational and professional settings.
