Product Name – Triple Sugar-Iron-Agar Medium Quantity/Pack Size – 100g Form – Powder Grade – High Grade Application – Bacterial Differentiation
Product Overview
Triple Sugar-Iron-Agar Medium is a specialized culture medium designed for the differentiation and identification of bacteria based on their ability to ferment sugars and produce hydrogen sulfide. This high-grade medium is formulated to support the growth of a wide range of bacterial species, making it an essential tool for microbiology laboratories. The medium contains three sugars—glucose, lactose, and sucrose—as well as iron salts, which react with hydrogen sulfide produced by certain bacteria, resulting in a black precipitate. This reaction helps in the identification of bacteria such as Salmonella and Shigella, which are known to produce hydrogen sulfide. The Triple Sugar-Iron-Agar Medium is easy to prepare and use, providing reliable and consistent results for bacterial analysis. It is suitable for use in educational settings, research laboratories, and clinical diagnostics.
