Product Overview
Triple Sugar Iron HiVeg Agar is a specialized medium designed for the differentiation and identification of enteric bacteria based on their ability to ferment glucose, lactose, and sucrose, as well as their production of hydrogen sulfide. This agar is formulated with HiVeg, a high-quality, animal-free peptone that ensures consistent performance and reliability in laboratory settings. The medium supports the growth of a wide range of bacteria and is particularly useful in clinical and research laboratories for the isolation and identification of pathogens. The HiVeg grade ensures that the agar is free from animal-derived components, making it suitable for use in vegetarian and vegan laboratory practices. The formulation includes indicators that change color in response to the fermentation of sugars and the production of hydrogen sulfide, providing clear and distinct results for accurate identification.
