Irgasan (Triclosan) Powder serves as a potent antimicrobial agent widely used across various industries, including microbiology. Its efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacteria renders it indispensable in formulating culture media for microbiological studies. Microbiologists depend on Irgasan Powder to suppress the growth of unwanted bacteria while fostering the proliferation of specific strains.
Aside from its pivotal role in culture media, Irgasan Powder plays a critical part in antimicrobial susceptibility testing. This testing method aids in determining the most effective treatment for bacterial infections by evaluating the sensitivity of bacteria to a range of antibiotics, including Irgasan.
Furthermore, researchers employ Irgasan Powder in genetic engineering experiments. Introducing it into cell cultures enables scientists to select cells with integrated genetic constructs and closely monitor their expression levels. This application highlights the versatility of Irgasan Powder beyond its antimicrobial properties.
