Prepared Microbiology Media
Alkali Scientific M Endo LES Agar 20mL Plate, 10/Pk
M Endo LES Agar is a selective and differential medium used for the enumeration of total coliform bacteria in water samples using the membrane filtration method. LES stands for Lawrence Experimental Station, indicating a formulation optimized for improved coliform recovery. Each plate contains approximately 20 mL of distinctive reddish pink agar designed to differentiate bacteria based on lactose fermentation. The medium includes sodium sulfite and basic fuchsin, which inhibit Gram positive organisms while acting as indicators. When membrane filters containing bacteria are placed on the agar surface, lactose fermenting coliforms such as E. coli produce red colonies often displaying a characteristic green metallic sheen. Non lactose fermenters appear colorless or pale pink, allowing reliable identification of coliform contamination in water samples.

Alkali Scientific M EI Agar 8mL 60 x 15 mm Filter Plate, 10/Pk
m EI (Membrane Enterococcus Indoxyl) Agar is a chromogenic selective medium used for the detection and enumeration of Enterococcus species in recreational fresh and marine waters. The plates contain approximately 8 mL of agar and are cast in a 60 × 15 mm format designed to accommodate standard membrane filters without excess media. This formulation is the basis of EPA Method 1600 and enables a single step testing procedure. The medium contains the chromogenic substrate indoxyl β D glucoside, which is cleaved by β glucosidase enzymes produced by Enterococcus species. As a result, colonies develop a distinctive blue coloration or blue halo after incubation. Selective agents such as sodium azide and nalidixic acid inhibit competing bacteria, ensuring accurate detection of Enterococcus contamination in water samples.
Alkali Scientific BCYE Agar with 4% L Cysteine, 20 mL Prepared Plate, 5 Day Shelf Life, 1/Pk
BCYE Agar with 4% L Cysteine, 20 mL Prepared Plate, 5 Day Shelf Life, 1/Pk is designed to foster the growth of Legionella species in a selective medium. The inclusion of 4% L cysteine enhances the growth conditions for Legionella bacteria, ensuring high-quality cultures. Each 20mL plate is ready to use and provides a 5-day shelf life for reliable use in laboratory environments.
Alkali Scientific Tryptic Soy Agar 10mL 60x15mm filter Dish, 10/Pk
Tryptic Soy Agar, 10mL, 60x15mm Filter Dish, 10/Pk is a nutrient rich general purpose culture medium designed for the cultivation of a wide range of bacteria and fungi. The balanced nutrient formulation supports both fastidious and non fastidious microorganisms, making it suitable for routine microbiological testing in clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories. The 60x15mm filter bottom Petri dish design enhances airflow and is particularly useful for environmental monitoring procedures such as air sampling and cleanroom contamination assessment. Each plate contains 10mL of sterile agar ready for immediate laboratory use. Commonly applied in GMP compliant environments, the medium supports routine bioburden testing, environmental surveillance programs, and microbial quality control workflows.
Alkali Scientific Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) w/Lecithin & Polysorbate 80 14mL Locking Lid Contact Plate, 10/Pk
Tryptic Soy Agar with Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 is a contact plate designed for environmental monitoring and surface sampling. The formulation includes neutralizing agents that deactivate disinfectants and cleaning residues, allowing accurate recovery of microorganisms from sanitized surfaces. The plate features a locking lid design that provides additional security during handling and transport, reducing the risk of contamination or accidental opening. The nutrient rich TSA base supports growth of a wide range of microorganisms. This plate is commonly used in pharmaceutical, food production, and laboratory environments for routine monitoring of microbial contamination on surfaces.
Teknova MacConkey Agar Plates with Levofloxacin-16. 100mm Plates, 20 Plates per Sleeve, Sterile.
MacConkey agar media aid in the isolation and differentiation of gram-negative bacterial isolates. It serves as an indicator, selective, and differential media, which determines the growth or presence of the gram-negative enteric bacilli from the different samples that are important for the sanitary purpose.
Alkali Scientific m Endo LES Agar 20mL Monoplate, 10/Pk
m Endo LES Agar, 20mL Monoplate, 10/Pk is a selective and differential culture medium designed for the detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli, in water samples using the membrane filtration method. The formulation contains lactose, sodium lauryl sulfate, and sodium deoxycholate, which inhibit Gram positive organisms while allowing Gram negative coliforms to grow and produce characteristic red colonies with a metallic sheen. Each plate is pre poured with 20mL of sterile medium in a standard 100 x 15mm monoplate format, ensuring even membrane placement and consistent incubation conditions. This medium is widely used for drinking water testing, wastewater analysis, and environmental monitoring, and aligns with EPA, APHA, and Standard Methods protocols for microbiological water quality analysis.
