Iron Sulfite Agar

Produced to ensure dependable processing results, our Iron Sulfite Agar falls under the Special Media category within Life Science's Microbiology division. This dehydrated nutrient media is specifically designed for selective counting applications, particularly for verifying Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens. Its unique composition includes ferric citrate and sodium disulfite, serving as H2S indicators. When Clostridium perfringens reduces sulfite to sulfide, it reacts with iron to form a black iron sulfide precipitate, resulting in distinct black colonies on the agar. Certified according to both ISO 11133 and ISO 15213 standards, this medium maintains optimal storage temperatures between +15 to +25 °C, ensuring accurate and reliable test results. It should be noted that this Iron Sulfite Agar is not
