MacConkey Agar Plates

Specifications: Full Name: MacConkey Agar (w/o CV w/ 0.15% Bile Salts) Plate Dimension: 90 x 15 mm Petri Plate Media Type: Selective & Differential Culture Medium Target Microorganisms: Gram-Negative Enteric Bacilli (Enterobacteriaceae) Selective Agent: Bile Salts (0.15%) Differential Indicator: Neutral Red & Lactose (Acid Indicator) Sterilization: Gamma Sterile / Aseptically Poured Storage Temp: 2°C to 8°C (Refrigerated) Shelf Life: 60 Days Packaging: 10 Plates per Sealed Sleeve Intended use Intended for the selective isolation and differentiation of lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting Gram-negative enteric bacilli from clinical, food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and water specimens. Principle Bile salts selectively inhibit Gram-positive organisms while neutral red indicator turns lactose fermenters distinct pink/red due to acid production and bile precipitation. Design Pre-poured in optically clear 90mm sterile Petri dishes with uniform media depth providing sharp contrast for lactose fermentation colony evaluation.
