Cetrimide Selective Agar (CET) / MacConkey Agar (MAC) / Vogel and Johnson Agar (VJ) Triplates

The 15 mm x 100 mm triplate format with 7 mL fill volume per section provides three distinct selective approaches: Cetrimide Agar selectively isolates P. aeruginosa with characteristic pigment production for identification, MacConkey Agar selectively isolates Gram-negative bacilli including coliforms and enteric pathogens with lactose fermentation differentiation, and Vogel and Johnson Agar selectively detects coagulase-positive, mannitol-positive Staphylococcus aureus strains from clinical and food samples. This comprehensive three-media strategy eliminates the need for separate plates while enabling comparative evaluation across three critical selective formulations, making this triplate essential for food safety testing, clinical microbiology, and environmental monitoring where multiple pathogen targets must be assessed from a single specimen. Manufactured from optically clear polystyrene with heavy-duty construction, raised stacking rings, and breathable sleeve packaging, these plates maintain optimal quality for reliable pathogen detection.

• MacConkey section isolates Gram-negative bacilli with lactose fermentation differentiation
• Vogel and Johnson section detects coagulase-positive, mannitol-positive S. aureus
• 15 mm x 100 mm format with 7 mL fill volume per section
• Optically clear polystyrene with heavy-duty construction and raised stacking rings
• Breathable sleeve packaging prevents condensation and excess moisture
• Enables simultaneous detection of three critical pathogen groups on single plate
