For detection and isolation of Salmonella spp. in clinical and food samples.

Intense red colouration for easy reading, compared to other chromogenic media.

Fast results particularly useful in case of a sudden, dangerous outbreak of Salmonella food poisoning.

High specificity / Lower workload: The conventional media for the detection of Salmonella by H2S character has very poor specificity, creating an abundance of false positives (Citrobacter, Proteus, etc.) among the rare real positive Salmonella. The workload for unnecessary examination of suspect colonies is so high that the real positive Salmonella colonies might often be missed in routine testing. Because of their poor specificity, conventional media require tedious examination of at least 10 colonies per suspected sample. On the contrary, Rambach Agar eliminates most of those false positives and allows technicians to focus on the real contaminated samples.
