Product Description
Lactose Broth (Dehydrated) is a liquid medium used for the presumptive identification of coliform organisms in milk, water, and food, as specified by the APHA. Containing beef extract, peptone, and lactose, it facilitates the fermentation of lactose by coliforms, resulting in gas formation within 24-48 hours at 35°C, indicating a positive presumptive result that requires further confirmation.
