Product Description
Himedia Mannitol Salt Agar, 500gm – India
Product Overview
Himedia Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA), 500gm pack, is a high-quality microbiological culture medium manufactured in India. It is widely used for the selective isolation and differentiation of Staphylococcus species, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. With its high salt concentration (7.5% NaCl), this medium effectively inhibits most bacteria other than staphylococci, making it an essential tool for clinical, industrial, and research microbiology laboratories.
What is Mannitol Salt Agar?
Mannitol Salt Agar is a selective and differential medium that contains mannitol, sodium chloride, and phenol red as an indicator. Staphylococcus aureus ferments mannitol and produces acid, leading to a distinct color change (yellow zones), while non-mannitol fermenting staphylococci remain pink or red, allowing for easy differentiation.
