Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (Holt, Harris & Teague) for differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli, 500 g, Acumedia 7134A

Acumedia® Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (Holt, Harris & Teague) for differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli, 500 g, 7134A

Features:

• Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (Holt, Harris & Teague) is used for isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli in laboratory setting
• Eosin Methylene Blue Agar is not intended for use in diagnosis of disease or other conditions in human
• Developed by Holt-Harris and Teague, formula contains lactose and sucrose with two indicator dyes, Eosin Y and Methylene Blue
• Use of Eosin Y and Methylene Blue as indicators produced sharp and distinct differentiation between colonies of lactose ermenting and nonfermenting organisms
• Sucrose is included to detect coliforms that ferment sucrose more readily than lactose
• EMB Agar is selective due to presence of inhibitor and differential based on ability of some organisms to ferment carbohydrates with absorption of Eosin Y and Methylene Blue complex
• EMB Agar is recommended for use in examining clinical specimens for enteric pathogens
• Appearance: pink violet powder
• CAS No: 
  • Eosin Y disodium salt: 17372-87-1
• pH: 6.6 – 7
• Flammability (gas, solid): non-flammable
