In the realm of microbiological diagnostics, accurate identification of enteric gram-negative bacteria is crucial for disease control, food safety, and pharmaceutical quality assurance. Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSI) stands as a powerful differential medium for this purpose.
BABIO, a leading Chinese biotechnology manufacturer, offers premium-grade TSI Agar that delivers precise results, consistent quality, and global applicability. Designed to support professionals in clinical labs, food factories, pharmaceutical plants, and research centers, BABIO’s TSI Agar has become a preferred choice across Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
What is Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSI)?
TSI Agar is a differential medium used to identify gram-negative enteric bacilli based on their ability to:
-
Ferment carbohydrates: Glucose, lactose, and sucrose
-
Produce hydrogen sulfide (H₂S): Seen as black precipitate
-
Form gas during fermentation
This reliable medium aids in distinguishing between pathogens such as Salmonella, Shigella, E.coli, and others — making it indispensable for labs engaged in intestinal pathogen detection.
Key Features & Advantages
✅ Triple Sugar Composition: Enables distinction among enteric bacteria based on sugar fermentation patterns
✅ Hydrogen Sulfide Indicator: Sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate detect H₂S production (blackening in butt)
✅ Visual Reaction Indicators: Red/yellow color shifts help identify fermentation status at a glance
✅ Available in Multiple Formats: Choose from 250g, 500g, 1kg, 5kg, or 10kg bottles to meet your lab’s needs
