GVS™ MI Liquid Media Bottled 50mL

Description

• MI Broth and Agar detects the presence of coliform bacteria by the production of b-galactosidase, which cleaves the substrate MUGal to produce 4-methylumbelliferone, which fluoresces on exposure to UV light
• Non-coliforms do not produce this enzyme and therefore do not fluoresce on the medium
• Escherichia coli is detected by the compound IBDG
• The b-glucuronidase produced by Escherichia coli cleaves the substrate to produce a blue indigo color in the colonies
• As Escherichia coli is also a total coliform, and also produces b-galactosidase, it will also fluoresce
• The antibiotic cefsulodin is present to inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria and some non-coliform gram-negative bacteria that can cause false positive reactions
• Features and Benefits Pre-Sterilized and Ready to Use Time Saving, 50 mL Portions, Reduce Risk of Cross-Contamination
• Optimal media stability, sterility, and reproducibility Less time-consuming, higher productivity Batch-specific quality certificate in each pack, Confirms Reproducibility and Reliability Applications Microbiological analysis
• used to detect and enumerate Escherichia coli and total coliforms in drinking water by the membrane filtration technique
• detection of presence of coliform bacteria Liquid Media Ready-to-use media considerably reduce the preparation time in quality control laboratories and also effectively reduce the risks of cross contamination
• GVS is cooperating closely with quality assurance managers in the industry in the development of its own media and test kits
• This intensive product development has produced a range of products that is being used to monitor production plants and conduct Microbiological checks on raw materials through to final product release in laboratories in more than 40 countries.
