Oxoid Membrane Lauryl Sulphate Broth 500g

This professional Oxoid Membrane Lauryl Sulphate Broth is a specialized dehydrated culture medium formulated for the enumeration and detection of coliform organisms and Escherichia coli in water samples using membrane filtration techniques. Developed as an alternative to traditional membrane lactose medium, it uses sodium lauryl sulphate as a selective agent to inhibit non-coliform organisms while supporting the growth of target coliform bacteria.

Essential for water quality testing laboratories, environmental monitoring facilities, and municipal water treatment plants, this 500g media bottle yields consistent and reliable analytical results. The inclusion of phenol red as a pH indicator allows easy differentiation of coliforms through acid production, providing microbiology teams with rapid and distinct colony visualization for critical public health assessments.
