Lactose Broth

Lactose Broth by BABIO, a renowned Chinese manufacturer of microbiological products, is an essential medium used in coliform detection, lactose fermentation studies, and as a pre-enrichment broth for salmonellae. This high-quality microbiology culture medium is widely used in laboratories for the detection of coliform organisms and provides accurate results in microbiological testing.

Lactose Broth contains vital ingredients like Pancreatic Digest of Gelatin and Beef Extract, which offer necessary nutrients for the growth of bacteria. Lactose, the fermentable carbohydrate, is particularly beneficial for testing the fermentation ability of coliform bacteria. When coliforms ferment lactose, they produce gas, which serves as a key indicator of a positive result. This makes Lactose Broth ideal for presumptive coliform tests.

In addition to being perfect for coliform detection, this broth can also be used in lactose fermentation studies to assess the ability of various bacteria to ferment lactose, a crucial trait in many microbial species. The Durham tube system included in the test tubes enables the detection of gas formation, further confirming the presence of coliform organisms.

BABIO's Lactose Broth is simple to prepare and offers reliable and accurate results, making it a go-to choice for microbiological studies in food safety, clinical diagnostics, and environmental microbiology. For more information and to purchase, visit BABIO's official website.
