Supplier: NEOGEN 700004815
Membrane Lactose Glucuronide Agar (mLGA) is a medium for the detection and identification of E. coli and coliforms from water samples and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.Traditionally, membrane Lauryl Sulphate Broth (mLSB) has been used as the standard media for isolating coliforms (including E. coli) from water potentially contaminated with sewage. Harlequin membrane Lactose Glucuronide Agar (mLGA) is a modification of mLSB aimed at reducing costs by reducing the number of filters used per test sample and aiding in the recovery and identification of coliforms and E. coli. The medium has been modified from the mLSB formulation by the incorporation of X-glucuronide (BCIG), sodium pyruvate and agar.*96-97% of E. coli strains positive. A notable exception is E. coli O157:H7.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/harlequin-mlga
