Oxoid KF Streptococcus Agar Base 500g

This professional Oxoid KF Streptococcus Agar Base is a selective, high-performance dehydrated culture medium formulated for the isolation and enumeration of fecal streptococci (Enterococci) in surface waters, sewage, milk, and various food samples. Manufactured to stringent microbiological standards, this medium utilizes sodium azide as a selective agent to inhibit Gram-negative organisms while allowing enterococci to thrive.

Essential for environmental testing laboratories, food processing quality control, and municipal water analysis facilities, this 500g bottle yields approximately 6.5 liters of prepared culture media. When supplemented with TTC (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium Chloride), it facilitates clear visual identification of red- or pink-centered streptococcus colonies, ensuring accurate contamination monitoring and regulatory compliance in public health diagnostics.
