DRBC Agar (BAM) Dehydrated Culture Media

The medium's primary benefit is its robust selectivity, which conforms with APHA guidelines and the FDA/BAM formulation. It contains Chloramphenicol to inhibit bacteria, while Rose Bengal and Dichloran work together to restrict the colony size of molds. This is a critical feature that simplifies the enumeration process. With this agar, you can confidently and efficiently assess microbial contamination in food samples, safeguarding quality and ensuring compliance.

Please note: DRBC Agar is for laboratory use and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.
