Liofilchem™ Vancomycin supplement, 5mg

The Liofilchem™ Vancomycin Supplement (5mg) is a high-purity antibiotic additive designed for use in microbiological culture media. It is primarily used to create selective environments that inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, allowing for the isolation and identification of specific bacterial groups such as Gram-negative organisms. This supplement is particularly valuable in diagnostic and research laboratories for preparing customized selective media formulations.

Key Features

1. High-Purity Antibiotic

• Contains 5mg of Vancomycin, an effective glycopeptide antibiotic known for its potent inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria.

2. Selective Inhibition

• Targets Gram-positive organisms, including staphylococci and streptococci, making it ideal for isolating Gram-negative bacteria or resistant strains in mixed cultures.

3. Versatile Application

• Suitable for use in:
  • Clinical diagnostics for pathogen isolation.
  • Research studies focused on antimicrobial resistance.
  • Environmental monitoring to study bacterial diversity.

4. Easy to Use

• Supplied in a convenient format for direct incorporation into media formulations.
• Simple preparation process to enrich standard or customized microbiological media.

5. Broad Compatibility

• Compatible with a wide range of culture media, including Sorbitol MacConkey Agar, CHROMagar™ selective media, and other specialized formulations.

6. Quality Assured

• Manufactured under stringent quality control standards to ensure consistency and reliability in laboratory applications.

Applications

1. Pathogen Isolation

• Enhances the selectivity of media for isolating Gram-negative bacteria by suppressing Gram-positive flora.

2. Resistance Studies

• Supports research on Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) and other resistant organisms.

3. Diagnostic Microbiology

• Used in clinical laboratories to prepare selective media for bacterial identification and susceptibility testing.

4. Food and Water Testing

• Applied in testing food and water samples for contamination by selective bacterial groups.

Storage and Handling

1. Storage Conditions:
