Brilliant Green HiVeg Agar Base with Phosphates, 500G

Brilliant Green HiVeg™ Agar Base w/ Phosphates is recommended for selective isolation and identification of Salmonellae from mixed flora while inhibiting Escherichia coli, Proteus and Pseudomonas species. It is recommended by the ISO Committee because of its improved performance with respect to recovery of smaller numbers of Salmonella species, inhibition of Escherichia coli, Proteus species and Pseudomonas species. The medium can further supplemented with sulphacetamide (1g/l) and sodium mandelate (0.25g/l) to inhibit contaminating microorganisms when the sample is suspected to contain large number of competing organisms along with Salmonella species. Application: For Selective Isolation of Salmonellae While inhibiting Escherichia Coli, Proteus & Pseudomonas Species Appearance of powder: Pink colored, homogeneous, free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.2% Agar gel Color and Clarity: Greenish brown colored, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in petri plates Reaction: Reaction of 5.2% w/v aqueous solution is pH 6.9 ± 0.2 at 25°C Cultural Response: Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 18 - 24 hours
