NEOGEN LB Agar, Miller, 10 kg
LB Agar (Miller), a nutritionally rich medium designed for growth of pure cultures of recombinant strains, is based on the formulation described by Miller. E. coli is grown to late log phase in LB Medium. Some plasmid vectors replicate to a high copy number and do not require selective amplification. Some vectors do not replicate so freely and need to be selectively amplified. Chloramphenicol may be added to inhibit host synthesis and prevent replication of the bacterial chromosome.LB Agar, Miller contains 10 g/L of sodium chloride, different from the levels in Lennox formulations. This allows the researcher to select the optimal salt concentration for a specific strain. The medium may be aseptically supplemented with glucose or antibiotics.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/lb-agar-miller

This original formulation has been adapted and adjusted to pH 5.7 according to ISO 15214:1998. Nutrition is provided by enzymatic digest of casein, glucose, meat & yeast extracts whilst polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate, magnesium and manganese sulphates act as growth stimulants. Selectivity against streptococci & molds is provided by ammonium citrate and sodium acetate. Used at low pH, ammonium citrate allows growth of lactobacilli whilst inhibiting a number of other organism groups.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/mrs-agar
NEOGEN Bile Esculin Azide Agar, 10 kg
Bile Esculin Azide Agar is used for the selective isolation and differentiation of group D streptococci in a laboratory setting. Bile Esculin Azide Agar is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.Bile Esculin Azide Agar is a modification of the medium reported by Isenberg and Isenberg, Goldberg, and Sampson. This formula modifies Bile Esculin Agar by adding sodium azide and reducing the concentration of bile. The revised medium is more selective, but still provides rapid growth and efficient recovery of group D streptococci.Molecular taxonomic studies of the genus Streptococcus have placed enterococci, previously described group D streptococci, in the genus Enterococcus. The ability to hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile is a characteristic of enterococci and group D streptococci.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/bile-esculin-azide-agar

Optimized for use in samples where staphylococci may be stressed and/or in low numbers, growth of the target organisms is promoted by sodium pyruvate, Glycine and the high concentration of mannitol.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/modified-giolitti-and-cantoni-broth
NEOGEN Rappaport Vassiliadis Salmonella Enrichment Broth, 500 g
Rappaport-Vassiliadis Salmonella Enrichment Broth is used for the enrichment and selective isolation of Salmonella spp. Conforms to Harmonized USP/EP/JP Requirements. Rappaport-Vassiliadis Salmonella Enrichment Broth is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. A medium recommended by the Harmonized Pharmacopoeia for the enrichment and selective isolation of Salmonella spp.from non-sterile samples. Malachite green and magnesium chloride act as selective agents, combined with high osmotic pressure and low pH to effectively inhibit non-target competitive organisms. Soya peptone provides a source of nitrogen and potassium phosphate acts as a buffer. Some Salmonella (S. typhi and S. enteritidis) are known to be sensitive to malachite green and as such may fail to grow.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/rappaport-vassiliadis-salmonella-enrichment-broth

NEOGEN Slanetz and Bartley Agar, 500 g
Slanetz and Bartley Medium is used for the enumeration of enterococci from water samples as described in ISO 7899-2, and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. This medium was originally described by Slanetz and Bartley for the enumeration of enterococci from water samples using a membrane filtration technique, but it may also be used as a spread plate for the examination of other sample types. Enterococci reduce tetrazolium chloride to the insoluble red dye formazan, producing colonies which are dark red or maroon on the surface of the membrane or agar. This reaction is not exclusive to enterococci, and the count at this stage should be considered presumptive. Colonies may be confirmed as enterococci by demonstrating aesculin hydrolysis using Kanamycin Aesculin Azide Agar (NCM0198).For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/slanetz-bartley-medium
