Description
SGL Raka Ray with Cycloheximide is a selective culture medium used for the detection and isolation of lactic acid bacteria in brewing environments. Commonly used by breweries and quality control laboratories, the medium supports the recovery of spoilage organisms such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, helping monitor product quality throughout the brewing process.
The addition of cycloheximide suppresses the growth of yeasts and moulds, allowing target bacterial contaminants to be more easily detected. This makes the medium particularly useful for investigating microbial spoilage, monitoring in-process samples and supporting brewery hygiene and quality assurance programmes.
Supplied in convenient ready-to-use syrup bottles, the medium reduces preparation time and provides a consistent testing platform for routine microbiological monitoring.
