VIOLET RED BILE LACTOSE AGAR, VEGITONE - Introduction
Crystal Violet neutral red bile salt agar (VRBA) is a selective Agar matrix for the cultivation of microorganisms. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
Crystal Violet Neutral Red Bile Salt Agar is a medium that combines bile salts and Agar, and contains indicators such as Crystal Violet and Neutral Red. Agar is a protein-rich polysaccharide that provides nutrients needed for microbial growth. Crystal Violet and neutral red serve as indicators that can help distinguish between different species of microorganisms.
Use:
Crystal Violet Neutral Red Bile Salt Agar is commonly used to isolate and identify intestinal bacteria, especially Escherichia coli. It can be used for microbial culture in food and water quality testing, as well as for microbiological testing in clinical laboratories.
Preparation Method:
The method of preparing VRBA includes dissolving Agar and bile salt in an appropriate solution, adding indicators such as crystal violet and neutral red, and then sterilizing at high temperature and pouring into the medium plate.
Safety Information:
Laboratory safety practices need to be followed when using VRBA. Avoid direct contact with Agar, indicator and culture medium to avoid allergic or irritating reactions. Pay attention to protective measures during operation, such as wearing gloves, laboratory clothes and glasses. Check the product manual and follow the relevant safe operating procedures before use.
