S2 Media 15x100mm Eosin Methylene Blue (L-EMB) Agar, Levine, 10/pack
Supplier: S2 Media 5010
Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) Agar, Levine is a selective and differential medium used for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli. This medium was introduced in 1916 by Holt-Harris and Teague to differentiate Escherichia spp. and Aerobacter spp.. It was modified by Levine in 1918 who removed sucrose from the formula and increased the lactose content. The distinctive metallic sheen produced by E. coli on this medium is due to acid production resulting in amide bonding between the eosin and methylene blue. Other coliforms do not produce enough acid to cause this reaction. Eosin inhibits most Gram-positive organisms.• Product meets AOAC, BAM, CLSI, NF, SM-Dairy, SMWW, and USP reference methods and performance criteria.• EMB Agar should be used by trained professionals within a laboratory setting. • For in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use.• Product is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of disease or other human conditions.
