Product Description

MIU Medium Base (Motility Indole Urease) Agar

MIU Medium Base (HiMedia Code: M1076) is a versatile, highly efficient multi-test biochemical medium designed to determine three key differential characteristics—motility, indole production, and urease activity—simultaneously within a single tube. Widely utilized in diagnostic bacteriology and clinical microbiology laboratories, this specialized formulation streamlines the identification and screening of Enterobacteriaceae and other enteric bacilli across hospital pathology units, public health centers, and university research laboratories throughout Bangladesh.

Identifying enteric pathogens traditionally requires separate media for motility, tryptophan degradation (indole test), and urea hydrolysis. MIU Medium consolidates these assays into one semi-solid matrix by incorporating a low agar concentration (2.0 g/L) that allows motile organisms to spread away from the stab-inoculation line. Tryptone provides rich amino acids (including tryptophan) to support growth and subsequent indole detection using Kovacs' reagent. Dextrose serves as a fermentable carbohydrate source, while phenol red acts as a pH indicator that shifts from orange-red to bright cerise-pink under alkaline conditions created by urea hydrolysis. This multi-parameter design saves valuable incubator space, reduces media preparation time, and conserves reagents in busy clinical settings.

Supplied as a free-flowing, homogeneous cream-to-tan dehydrated powder, it dissolves efficiently in distilled water (typically 16.01 g/L) and is distributed into tubes for autoclaving and subsequent supplementation with sterile urea if required by specific protocols. Victor Scientific Co. supplies authentic HiMedia culture media, analytical reagents, and laboratory apparatus nationwide with batch traceability and dependable delivery across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.

✹ Key Features

Authentic HiMedia Quality (Code: M1076)

Manufactured to stringent international diagnostic benchmarks, ensuring reliable multi-test performance and sharp biochemical reactions.

Simultaneous Three-in-One Testing

Combines motility detection, indole production, and urease activity tests into a single culture tube to streamline laboratory workflows.

Semi-Solid Motility Matrix

Contains an optimized 0.2% agar concentration (2.0 g/L) that clearly distinguishes motile (diffused turbidity) from non-motile (growth confined to stab line) organisms.

Clear Phenol Red Urease Indicator

Shifts visibly to a bright cerise-pink color when urease-positive organisms break down urea into alkaline ammonia.

Convenient Preparation Ratio

Requires suspending 16.01 grams in 1,000 ml of purified distilled water, boiling to dissolve completely, distributing into tubes, and sterilizing.

Moisture-Resistant HDPE Packaging

Packaged in a 500-gram hermetically sealed container designed to safeguard the dehydrated powder against ambient humidity and degradation.

✹ Applications

- Simultaneous screening and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae in clinical diagnostic and hospital pathology laboratories

- Rapid identification of urinary and intestinal pathogens (such as Escherichia coli, Proteus species, and Klebsiella)

- Public health water testing and food hygiene microbiological surveillance

- Pharmaceutical bioburden testing and quality control validation protocols

- Academic undergraduate and postgraduate laboratory practicals in medical microbiology and biochemical bacteriology

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1

What is the price of MIU Medium Base HiMedia (500g) in Bangladesh?

A1

The price of MIU Medium Base HiMedia M1076 (500g pack) in Bangladesh typically ranges between BDT 9,500 and BDT 11,500, depending on import batches and supplier terms. Contact Victor Scientific Co. directly for exact institutional quotes and bulk availability.

Q2

In what sequence should the three tests (Motility, Urease, Indole) be read?

A2

Motility and urease activity must be read first before adding any reagents. Motility is assessed by checking for turbidity away from the stab line, and urease is read by observing color changes. Indole is tested last by adding a few drops of Kovacs' reagent to the top of the medium, as the reagent can interfere with subsequent observations.

Q3

What does a positive urease reaction look like in MIU Medium?

A3

A positive urease reaction is indicated by a distinct color change of the phenol red indicator from orange-red to bright cerise-pink throughout the medium or along the upper portion, caused by the alkaline ammonia produced during urea breakdown.

Q4

What is the preparation ratio for MIU Medium Base powder?

A4

Suspend 16.01 grams of dehydrated powder in 1,000 ml of purified distilled water, heat with frequent agitation to boiling to dissolve completely, distribute into test tubes, and autoclave at 15 psi (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool in an upright position.

Q5

Does Victor Scientific Co. deliver culture media safely across Bangladesh?

A5

Yes, Victor Scientific Co. packages all culture media bottles in protective cushioning and moisture-barrier cartons, ensuring rapid courier delivery to all 64 districts in Bangladesh—including Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet—within 24 to 48 hours.
