Himedia Folic Acid Casei Medium is a specialized culture medium recommended for the microbiological assay of folic acid in blood serum using Lactobacillus casei ATCC 7469 as the test organism. This assay is based on the organism’s specific nutritional requirement for folic acid, where increasing concentrations of folic acid produce a proportional growth response, enabling accurate quantification.
Key Features
- Designed for microbiological assay of folic acid.
- Optimized for Lactobacillus casei ATCC 7469 as the test organism.
- Contains all essential nutrients except folic acid, ensuring specificity.
- Facilitates quantitative growth response assays.
- Supplied as a powdered medium in a glass bottle.
- Backed by established references in analytical and clinical chemistry.
