Differential medium for bacterial identification based on lactose fermentation patterns.
InMicro® Prepared CTA with 1% Lactose is a differential medium used in microbiology for identifying bacterial species based on their ability to ferment lactose. The presence of lactose in the medium enables the observation of a pH shift when the sugar is fermented, indicated by a color change from red to yellow. This medium is particularly useful in differentiating between enteric bacteria and other Gram-negative organisms. Laboratories commonly use it to distinguish
Lactose-positive bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, from Lactose-negative species, providing an essential tool in microbial diagnostics. This medium helps streamline the identification process by enabling rapid differentiation based on simple biochemical reactions.
Manufactured at a cGMP-compliant facility under the ISO 13485 standard, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards, consistency, and reliability for both research and industrial settings.
