Alkali Scientific Mannitol Salt Agar, 500 G
Supplier: Alkali Scientific MAN003CP
Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is a selective growth medium designed to isolate and differentiate salt-tolerant organisms, particularly staphylococci, in clinical and environmental microbiological studies. The 500g format offers a cost-effective solution for routine microbial testing. The high concentration of sodium chloride (7.5%) prevents the growth of non-halophilic organisms, allowing salt-tolerant bacteria to grow and be differentiated based on mannitol fermentation. This medium uses phenol red as a pH indicator, which changes from red to yellow when mannitol is fermented. MSA is essential in clinical labs for detecting pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus and monitoring food safety.
