GVPC Agar Base for Legionella Isolation and Water Testing

GVPC Agar Base is a highly selective culture medium developed for the isolation and cultivation of Legionella species in environmental and water samples according to ISO testing standards. Widely used in Legionella testing, water quality monitoring, and environmental microbiology, this medium supports the reliable detection of waterborne pathogens in cooling towers, potable water systems, healthcare facilities, and industrial water networks.

Formulated with yeast extract, ACES buffer, activated charcoal, ferric pyrophosphate, and α-ketoglutarate, GVPC Agar Base provides optimal nutritional support for Legionella growth while enhancing recovery performance. When combined with the GVPC selective supplement containing glycine, vancomycin, polymyxin B, and cycloheximide, the medium effectively suppresses competing microorganisms, making GVPC Agar Base a preferred choice for Legionella isolation, Legionella culture, and ISO-compliant laboratory testing.

The black appearance created by activated charcoal improves culture performance and supports accurate microbial recovery. Manufactured by Babio, a leading Chinese producer of microbiological culture media, GVPC Agar Base delivers consistent quality and dependable results for laboratories worldwide.
