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

Phenol Red Broth with Lactose, 8mL with Durham Tube, 10/Pk is a differential medium used for detecting lactose fermentation and gas production in bacterial cultures. The broth contains phenol red, a pH indicator that turns yellow in the presence of acid, signaling lactose fermentation. A Durham tube is included in each vial to trap any gas produced during the fermentation process.

This medium is commonly used for the identification of enteric bacteria, particularly to differentiate coliforms and other lactose-fermenting organisms from non-fermenters in water, food, and clinical microbiology settings.

• Detects lactose fermentation and gas production
• Phenol red indicator for easy acid detection
• Includes Durham tube for visual gas capture
• 8mL fill in 13 x 100mm screw-cap polycarbonate tubes
• Ideal for microbial identification and quality control testing

Packaged in sets of 10, these tubes are ready for use in biochemical profiling and fermentation testing workflows.
