Arginine Glucose Slant Agar (AGS) – 100g | Vibrio cholerae Biochemical Test Medium

Arginine Glucose Slant Agar (AGS) is a composite biochemical test medium designed for simultaneous evaluation of arginine dihydrolase activity and glucose fermentation in Vibrio cholerae identification workflows.

Key Application:

✔️ Differentiation of V. cholerae from related species

✔️ Arginine metabolism testing

✔️ Glucose fermentation confirmation

Test Principle:

– Tests two biochemical pathways in single tube

– Color change indicates metabolic activity

Protocol:

1️⃣ Prepare medium per instructions

2️⃣ Dispense into tubes

3️⃣ Autoclave and solidify as slants

4️⃣ Inoculate and incubate 18-24 hours

Interpretation:

– V. cholerae: Specific color reaction pattern

Features:

– Dual-test efficiency

– Ready-to-prepare powder

– 100g convenient size

– 3-year stability
