Vibrio Chromogenic Agar A1 Quality – HX-Media

Vibrio Chromogenic Agar – HX-Media

Product Overview

Vibrio Chromogenic Agar is a selective and differential medium designed for the rapid detection and differentiation of Vibrio species in food and environmental samples. The medium contains chromogenic substrates that allow target organisms to produce distinct colored colonies, making identification easier and more reliable.

Selective agents inhibit the growth of non-target flora, while the formulation supports optimal growth of pathogenic Vibrio species such as Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. This Vibrio Chromogenic Agar is widely used in food safety testing, water analysis, and clinical microbiology laboratories for efficient screening and confirmation.
