NA-MUG Agar Medium

NA-MUG Agar Medium is a specialized fluorogenic culture medium designed for the membrane filtration detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in drinking water, source water, municipal water systems, and environmental water samples. Widely used in water quality testing, environmental microbiology, and public health laboratories, NA-MUG Agar Medium provides rapid and reliable identification of E. coli through MUG fluorescence technology.

The medium contains nutrient-rich peptone, beef extract, and MUG (4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-Glucuronide), supporting bacterial recovery while enabling specific enzymatic detection. Most E. coli strains produce β-glucuronidase, which hydrolyzes MUG and releases a fluorescent compound visible as blue-white fluorescence under 366 nm UV light. This proven detection method improves accuracy in microbial contamination testing, potable water analysis, and regulatory compliance monitoring.

NA-MUG Agar Medium is ideal for membrane filtration methods, drinking water safety programs, environmental monitoring, coliform investigation, and microbiological quality control. Manufactured by Babio Biology, a leading Chinese manufacturer of microbiological culture media, this premium-quality medium delivers dependable performance and excellent recovery rates for laboratory professionals worldwide.
