Mannitol Salt Agar Plate (10 plates in a pack )

Description

INTENDED USE: In vitro diagnostic. It is a Selective medium for the isolation and differentiation of staphylococci from clinical and nonclinical specimens.

PRINCIPLE:
•Selective: High salt concentration (7.5% sodium chloride) inhibits most bacteria, allowing staphylococci to thrive.
• Differential: Distinguishes mannitol-fermenting Staphylococcus aureus (yellow zone) from non-fermenting staphylococci (red/pink zone).
• Versatile Applications: Used for isolating staphylococci from clinical specimens and detecting S. aureus in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
• Meets Standards: Complies with EP, USP, and JP requirements for S. aureus detection.
• Nutrient-Rich: Peptones provide essential growth factors; phenol red serves as a clear pH indicator for fermentation activity

STORAGE CONDITIONS AND SHELF LIFE:
• Upon receipt, store at +2 – 8°C away from direct light in a cool, dry place. The user is responsible for the storage method (temperature) of the medium.
• If properly stored, the product may be used up to the expiration date. Do not use it beyond the mentioned expired date.
