Product Description
Phenol Red Maltose Broth is a specialized microbiological medium designed to detect maltose fermentation in bacterial cultures. This high-quality product from Himedia is widely used in research labs, educational institutions, and diagnostic centers for accurate microbial identification.
The broth contains phenol red as a pH indicator, which changes color based on the fermentation of maltose. A yellow color indicates acid production, while a red or pink hue suggests alkaline conditions. This makes it an essential tool for differentiating between maltose-fermenting and non-fermenting bacteria.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher analyzing microbial activity, this broth ensures reliable results. Its easy-to-use powder form allows for quick preparation, saving time in busy lab environments.
