InTray® MSA (Mannitol Salt Agar) 20pk
Please note: This product is a custom pour, and not stocked regularly. Please call for more information.
InTray MSA enables the growth, observation and selective isolation of staphylococci from clinical and non-clinical specimens. Mannitol Salt Agar meets U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) performance specification. This device isolates presumptive staphylococci based on their ability to grow on agar media with 7.5% sodium chloride. A change on the phenol red indicator (Mannitol fermentation) aids in differentiation of staphylococci species.
