Description
Phenol Red Broth Base is a dehydrated microbiological culture medium base supplied in a 500 g pack for laboratory use. As indicated by the product name, the formulation is centred on the pH indicator phenol red and is intended for the preparation of liquid broth media used to study carbohydrate utilisation and acid production by microorganisms. Users typically enrich the base with defined carbohydrates and any additional supplements specified in their validated methods before sterilisation and inoculation. The 500 g pack size is convenient for routine media preparation in clinical, food, industrial, and research microbiology laboratories. This broth base comes from manufacturer Dinkelberg and is listed with Hungary as country of origin. It belongs to the laboratory materials category for culture media workflows and supports differential testing where clear visual pH shifts are required. Preparing media from a standardised base helps laboratories maintain consistent batch quality when protocols are followed carefully. The compact unit suits smaller media kitchens as well as teaching and specialised diagnostic environments with moderate throughput.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about Phenol Red Broth Base, 500g
What is this article?
Phenol Red Broth Base, 500g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Dinkelberg for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
