GranuCult^® prime CIN (Cefsulodin, Irgasan, Novobiocin) Agar

GranuCult^® prime CIN (Cefsulodin, Irgasan, Novobiocin) Agar is a nutrient rich selective medium which is designed for the isolation and differentiation of Yersinia enterocolitica from the food chain and other materials.
The selectivity of the medium is contributed using antibiotics- Cefsulodin, Irgasan(Triclosan), Novobiocin, bile salts and crystal violet dye which synergistically inhibit the accompanying flora. The pyruvate in the medium promotes the growth of Yersinia spp. agar is the solidifying agent.
Mannitol from the medium is degraded by the growing Yersinia to form an acid which will trigger a pH change indicated by neutral red. The positive colonies appear red in color. The fermentation reaction by the growing Yersinia is intense and localized which produces the characteristic “bull’s eye” appearance. The microbes which do not metabolize mannitol from the media will form colorless, translucent colonies.
Yersinia Selective Supplement (1.03880) is available to enhance the selectivity and growth conditions.

GranuCult^® prime CIN (Cefsulodin, Irgasan, Novobiocin) Agar is for the isolation and differentiation of Yersinia enterocolitica from the food chain and other materials.

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult^® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect^® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
