Lauryl Tryptose Broth (500g) – Product Description

Product Overview

Lauryl Tryptose Broth (also known as Lauryl Sulphate Broth) is a highly selective and differential medium designed for the detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria. It plays a critical role in identifying faecal contamination, especially in water quality testing, food safety, and clinical microbiology. By fostering coliform growth, including Escherichia coli, this medium is crucial for various microbiological applications such as water testing, wastewater analysis, food safety, and clinical diagnostics.

Key Features

• Selective for Coliforms: Contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, allowing for coliform growth.
  • Lactose Fermentation Differentiation: Lactose as the sole fermentable carbohydrate differentiates lactose-fermenting bacteria.
  • Gas Production Detection: Durham tubes capture gas produced by lactose fermentation, confirming coliform presence.
  • Perfect Water Testing Medium: Widely used for water quality testing, particularly for faecal contamination detection.
  • Reliable & Consistent: Provides dependable results, ideal for critical microbiological applications.
