S2 Media 15x100mm Hektoen Enteric (HEK) Agar, 10/pack
Supplier: S2 Media 5021
Hektoen Enteric (HEK) Agar is a selective and differential medium used for the isolation of enteric pathogens. Compared to other enteric differentiating media commonly used, HEK Agar increased the isolation rate of Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. This was accomplished by increasing the carbohydrate and peptone content of the medium in order to counteract the inhibitory effects of bile salts and indicators. King and Metzger successfully formulated a medium that slightly inhibited growth of Salmonella and Shigella, while inhibiting Gram-positive microorganisms.• Product meets AOAC, BAM, CLSI, EPA, NF, SM-Dairy, and SMWW reference methods and performance criteria.• HEK 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.
