Phenol Red Broth with Dextrose 8mL with Durham Tube, 10/Pk

Phenol Red Broth with Dextrose, 8mL with Durham Tube, 10/Pk is a differential medium used to assess carbohydrate fermentation and gas production in a wide range of bacterial species. The formulation includes phenol red as a pH indicator and dextrose as the fermentable sugar, allowing clear visual differentiation based on acid or gas production.

Each 13 x 100mm tube contains a Durham tube for detecting gas formation, making it ideal for identifying Enterobacteriaceae and other gram-negative rods in clinical, food, or industrial microbiology workflows. A color shift from red to yellow indicates acid production, while gas bubbles in the Durham tube confirm gas fermentation.

• Supports detection of dextrose fermentation and gas production
• Phenol red indicator provides clear visual results
• 8mL fill in screw-cap tubes with Durham gas traps
• Suitable for microbial ID and biochemical testing
• Packaged in sets of 10, ready for immediate use

This medium is commonly used in biochemical panels and quality control labs for profiling bacterial metabolic behavior.
