Description
Oxoid™ Brilliant Green Agar (Modified) (Dehydrated) is a selective and differential medium formulated for the isolation and identification of Salmonella species (excluding Salmonella typhi) from food, feed, and water samples. This modified formulation enhances the inhibition of non-target organisms, providing improved selectivity for Salmonella.
Key Features:
- Form: Dehydrated powder
- Weight: 5kg
- Application: Isolation and identification of Salmonella species (excluding Salmonella typhi) from food, feed, and water samples
- Selective Agents: Brilliant green dye and bile salts inhibit the growth of Gram-positive organisms and many Gram-negative organisms other than Salmonella
- Differentiation: Salmonella colonies typically appear red to pink, while non-Salmonella colonies are inhibited or appear as small, colorless colonies
- Preparation: Suspend 52g in 1 liter of distilled water, bring to the boil with frequent agitation to dissolve completely, cool to 50°C, mix well, and pour into sterile Petri dishes
- Yield: Approximately 96 liters of prepared medium
- Storage: Store in the original packaging between 10°C and 30°C, protect from moisture and light
