Product Overview
Phenol Red Tartrate Agar (Jordan Tartrate Agar) is a specialized culture medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae. This agar is widely used in microbiology labs for its ability to differentiate between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting bacteria. The medium contains phenol red, a pH indicator, which changes color in response to the acidity produced by the fermentation of lactose. This makes it an excellent tool for identifying and studying various bacterial species. The agar is formulated to support the growth of Enterobacteriaceae while inhibiting the growth of other bacteria, ensuring accurate and reliable results. Its high-quality composition ensures consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for both educational and research applications.
