Product Description
Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar (VRBGA) is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and enumeration of coliform bacteria. These ready-to-use agar plates are essential for laboratories conducting water, food, and environmental testing. The unique formulation inhibits gram-positive bacteria while allowing coliforms to grow, making it a reliable tool for microbiologists and researchers.
Each plate contains bile salts and crystal violet, which suppress non-coliform organisms, while glucose serves as the fermentable carbohydrate. The resulting red colonies with a surrounding zone of precipitated bile indicate coliform presence, providing clear and interpretable results. This medium is widely used in quality control, research, and educational settings.
For accurate and efficient coliform detection, these agar plates are pre-poured and sterilized, ensuring consistency and saving valuable lab time. Whether you’re a student learning microbiology techniques or a researcher conducting critical experiments, these plates deliver dependable performance. Order your Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar Plates today and ensure precise microbial analysis in your lab.
