Overview
Dextrose Starch Agar is an agar (solid) medium, a biochemical identification medium read by colour change or gas production. Starch hydrolysis is read with iodine. STBIO manufactures it from food-grade raw materials in an ISO 22000 certified facility, with a COA for every batch. This is the Halal-certified version.
What biochemical identification media are for
Biochemical identification media reveal whether a strain can use a particular substrate, read through colour change, gas production, or a zone of clearing. They remain the basis of conventional identification and confirmatory quality control. Each medium covers one characteristic, so several are normally read together alongside known positive and negative control strains.
