Bioprepare Mannitol Salt Agar (Chapman) Plates 10pcs

Mannitol Salt Agar is used for the selective isolation and enumeration of Staphylococci from clinical or non clinical specimens. Peptones and beef extract provide the essential growth factors like nitrogens, carbon and trace nutrients. The high concentration of sodium chloride results in the partial or complete inhibition of the growth of all bacterial organisms other than Staphylococcus. Mannitol fermentation which causes the phenol red indicator to change colour helps differentiate the species of staphylococcus. The pack contains 10 pieces of 90mm and it is stored at 8-25 °C.
