Product Overview
Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMB) is a selective and differential culture medium used primarily for the isolation and identification of gram-negative bacteria, particularly enteric pathogens. This high-grade agar contains eosin and methylene blue dyes, which inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria while allowing gram-negative bacteria to grow. The distinctive color change in colonies indicates the presence of lactose-fermenting enteric bacteria, making it an invaluable tool in microbiological research and educational settings. Its reliable performance and ease of use make EMB Agar a staple in any microbiology lab.
