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

Phenol Red Broth with Sucrose, 8mL with Durham Tube, 10/Pk is a differential medium formulated to detect sucrose fermentation and gas production in a wide range of bacterial species. It features phenol red as a pH indicator, which shifts from red to yellow in the presence of acid produced during sucrose metabolism. Each tube also includes a Durham tube to capture any gas produced, allowing for easy observation of both acid and gas end products.

Commonly used in clinical, environmental, and food microbiology, this medium supports the identification and differentiation of bacteria based on their carbohydrate utilization patterns.

• Detects sucrose fermentation with visible pH color change
• Includes Durham tube for gas detection
• 8mL volume in 13 x 100mm screw-cap polycarbonate tubes
• Ideal for enteric bacteria and other facultative anaerobes
• Ready-to-use format, packaged in sets of 10

An essential component in biochemical profiling and microbial identification panels.
