Used in microbiology for rapid detection and enumeration of bacteria in clinical, pharmaceutical, and environmental samples. Supports growth of a wide range of microorganisms due to rich nutrient composition. The addition of fast green dye helps inhibit the growth of certain contaminants, improving selectivity. Commonly used in sterility testing and quality control in laboratories. Provides clear colony differentiation, making it suitable for quick identification and counting. Often preferred for its faster results compared to standard media.
