MacConkey Agar Plates, 10-Pack
MacConkey Agar serves as a selective and differential substrate for the detection and count of Enterobacteriaceae and various Gram-negative bacilli. It is widely utilized for testing clinical samples, water quality, dairy goods, and other materials related to public health.
The medium’s selective properties are derived from crystal violet and bile salts, which effectively prevent the growth of Gram-positive organisms. Differentiation occurs via the lactose fermentation reaction:
Lactose Fermenters: Produce reddish-pink colonies.
Non-Lactose Fermenters: Appear as transparent or colorless colonies.
This agar-based medium is designed to isolate and distinguish members of the Enterobacteriaceae family by testing their ability to ferment lactose.
Competitive pricing and well-stocked US-based inventory.
Fast 1-2 business days shipping, including hazmat transport.
Exceptional customer service and chemical technical support.
Delivery on budget, on time, every time.
