Oxoid™ MacConkey Agar No.3 90mm Monoplate Pk 10

Oxoid™ MacConkey Agar No.3 is a selective and differential medium designed for the isolation and differentiation of lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacteria. Formulated to inhibit Gram-positive organisms, this medium provides clear colony differentiation based on lactose fermentation and bile salt tolerance.

Features:

• Selective for Gram-Negative Bacteria: Bile salts and crystal violet inhibit Gram-positive organisms, ensuring reliable recovery of Enterobacteriaceae.

• Differential Medium: Lactose and neutral red indicator allow easy differentiation—lactose fermenters produce pink to red colonies, while non-fermenters remain colorless.

• Consistent, Reliable Results: Proven formulation for high reproducibility in clinical, food, and environmental microbiology.

• Ready-to-Use Format: Supplied as pre-poured 90 mm monoplate for convenience, consistency, and reduced preparation time.

• Quality Assured: Produced under strict Oxoid™ quality standards for dependable laboratory performance.

Applications:

• Isolation and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacteria.

• Suitable for use in clinical, industrial, food, and water microbiology laboratories.

Packaging:

• 90 mm monoplate, pack of 10
