NEOGEN Agar, Bacteriological No. 1, 500 g
Agar, Bacteriological No. 1 is a solidifying agent for use in preparing microbiological culture media in a laboratory setting. Agar, Bacteriological No. 1 is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Agar, Bacteriological No. 1 conforms with the testing specified in the USP/EP Pharmacopeia.Agar is a phycocolloid extracted from a group of red-purple algae, usually Gelidium spp. Agar was first suggested for microbiological purposes in 1881 by Fannie Hesse. By the early 1900’s, agar became the gelling agent of choice over gelatin because agar remains firm at growth temperature for many pathogens and agar is generally resistant to a breakdown by bacterial enzymes. The use of agar in microbiological media significantly contributed to the advance of microbiology, paving the way to study pure cultures.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/agar-bacteriological-number-1

NEOGEN Brilliant Green Agar, 500 g
Brilliant Green Agar is used for the selective isolation of Salmonella spp. in a laboratory setting. Brilliant Green Agar is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.Kristensen, Lester, and Jurgens first described the use of Brilliant Green Agar as a primary plating medium for the isolation of Salmonella. The report described the medium as useful for the differentiation of “paratyphoid B” from other intestinal gram-negative bacilli. Kaufmann modified their formula and used Brilliant Green Agar in addition to Tetrathionate Broth for the isolation of Salmonella from stool specimens. The outstanding selectivity of this medium permits use of moderately heavy inocula, which should be evenly distributed over the surface. Brilliant Green Agar is used in the microbial limits test. Brilliant Green Agar supplemented with novobiocin is used in food testing.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/brilliant-green-agar-ncm0283
NEOGEN LESS Plus Medium Irradiated, 5 kg
Listeria monocytogenes, described first in 1926 by Murray, Webb and Swann, is an extensive problem in public health and food industries. This organism has the ability to cause human illness and death, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. Epidemiological evidence from outbreaks of listeriosis indicates the principle route of transmission is via the consumption of foods contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Implicated vehicles of transmission include meat, eggs, chicken, vegetables, and dairy products. Listeria spp. are ubiquitous in nature, present in a wide range of unprocessed foods and in soil, sewage, and river water. Certain strains of Listeria spp. are able to survive the manufacturing and ripening processes in dairy products.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/less-plus-medium

NEOGEN DC Medium with BCIG, 5 kg
DC Medium with BCIG is used in the chromogenic differentiation of E. coli from other coliforms in water samples using the membrane filtration method in a laboratory setting. DC Medium with BCIG is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.DC (Differential Coliform) Medium with BCIG is a selective and differential medium for the presumptive identification of E. coli. This medium is enhanced by the addition of a chromogenic agent, BCIG, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-ß-D-glucuronide to detect glucuronidase activity. The presence of the enzyme ß-D-glucuronidase differentiates most E. coli spp. from other coliforms, and is the same enzyme used in the MUG reaction. BCIG reacts slightly differently, and when released into the medium is insoluble, accumulating within the cell, imparting a blue to purple color to presumptive E. coli colonies.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/dc-medium-with-bcig
