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
