Application

Hektoen enteric agar is a type of primary standard media, which may be commonly used in the selective detection and isolation of Salmonella in food microbiology labs and in human stool specimens.

Preparation Note

Suspend 76.67 g in 1 litre distilled water and let it soak. Heat up by constant stirring until boiling. Cool to 55 - 60 °C and pour into sterile plates. Do not autoclave. The Medium is very thermolabile and thus overheating should be avoided.

Other Notes

Plating medium for the isolation of enteric pathogens; Isolation of Shigellae

Footnote

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
