Chromogenic substrates provide clearly visible answers on a single culture plate, and often reduce or eliminate the need for further confirmatory testing
Oxoid says it is committed to the development of products that provide faster and easier bacterial identifications for the food industry.
The use of innovative chromogenic substrates within the Oxoid Chromogenic media range provides clearly visible answers on a single culture plate and often reduces or eliminates the need for further confirmatory testing.
Chromogenic technology detects specific enzyme activity in target organisms - quickly and accurately.
These enzymes cleave a colourless substrate in the medium, releasing colour molecules within the colonies of interest and allowing them to be clearly seen, differentiated and counted.
