Description
Descriptiopn: Brilliance™ Salmonella Agar Base is a chromogenic selective medium designed to isolate and presumptively identify Salmonella species from food, environmental, and clinical samples. It uses chromogens (colour-producing compounds) and an Inhibigen™ system to differentiate Salmonella from other bacteria. When Salmonella grows, colonies appear purple, while other Enterobacteriaceae (like Klebsiella or Enterobacter) form blue colonies, making identification quick and easy.
Benefits
- Highly selective and differential: Targets Salmonella while inhibiting competing organisms.
- Rapid identification: Chromogenic reaction provides clear colour differentiation.
- Large pack size: CM1092T (5 kg) prepares approximately 74 liters of medium, ideal for high-volume testing.
- ISO-compliant: Suitable for food safety and clinical diagnostics.
Applications
- Food industry: Detect Salmonella in meat, dairy, and ready-to-eat products.
- Environmental monitoring: Test water systems and surfaces for contamination.
- Clinical labs: Screen stool samples for Salmonella infections.
- Public health and research: Investigate outbreaks and study Salmonella ecology.
