Leírás

Általános leírás

GranuCult^® prime VRB (Violet Red Bile Lactose) agar is used for the detection and colony counting of coliform bacteria. Crystal violet and bile salts inhibit the growth of the Gram-positive accompanying bacterial flora. Degradation of lactose to acid is indicated by the pH indicator neutral red, which changes its color to red, and by precipitation of bile acids. The enzymatic digest of animal tissue provides carbon and nitrogen sources for bacterial growth. Yeast extract primarily supplies the B-complex vitamins, while agar is the solidifying agent.

Alkalmazás

GranuCult^® prime Violet Red Bile Lactose (VBRL) agar is suitable for the detection and colony counting of coliform bacteria from food and animal feed, water, and other materials.

Egyéb megjegyzések

• The prepared medium is clear and red
• If the medium is to be used immediately for the poured plate technique, cool it to 44-47 °C in a water bath before use
• If the medium is used for the surface plating technique, there should be no visible moisture on the plates before use
• The prepared plates can be stored at 2 °C to 8 °C in the dark and protected against evaporation for up to 5 days
