Hardy Diagnostics HardyCHROM™ Vibrio is recommended for use as a selective and differential growth medium for the cultivation, isolation, and differentiation of Vibrio spp. from food and environmental samples.
Features:
- The only chromogenic media to differentiate V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus on the same plate
- Fluorogenic reaction adds another dimension for thorough differentiation
- Superior performance to TCBS; greater sensitivity and specificity
- Molecular methods can be are very expensive. Screen first on inexpensive HardyCHROM™ Vibrio!
- Also available in CRITERION™ Dehydrated Culture Media
HardyCHROM™ Vibrio Agar is a chromogenic medium, highly selective for isolation of V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. cholerae and V. alginolyticus, as well as other Vibrio species. The identification of species is made based on colony color and fluorescence under UV lamp. HardyCHROM™ Vibrio Agar has a high pH and salinity, which suppresses the growth of non-Vibrio species found in similar marine samples.
