Cetrimide Selective Agar HDx CRITERION – 2L (C5370)

Cetrimide Selective Agar HDx is a highly selective culture medium designed for the isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from clinical, pharmaceutical, and environmental samples. The cetrimide component inhibits the growth of most bacteria while allowing P. aeruginosa to flourish and produce characteristic pigments, making this medium essential for quality control testing, water analysis, and microbiological research applications.
