For the identification of gram negative bacilli.
Ideal for microbiological applications, the TSI (Triple Sugar Iron) Agar Slant is designed to distinguish between different types of gram-negative enteric bacteria. This unique medium incorporates lactose, sucrose, and glucose, along with a phenol red pH indicator that helps identify bacteria capable of fermenting these carbohydrates. Additionally, the medium contains iron and sodium thiosulfate, allowing for the detection of hydrogen sulfide gas production, which is essential in identifying and differentiating specific bacteria strains.
- Composed of lactose, sucrose, and glucose for comprehensive carbohydrate fermentation detection
- Includes phenol red pH indicator for clear identification of fermentation activity
- Contains iron and sodium thiosulfate for hydrogen sulfide gas detection.
