What We Make
Microbiology Media
HiMedia is one of the three largest microbiology media producers in the world, offering the broadest commercially available portfolio of dehydrated culture media, ready-to-use prepared media, selective and differential media, and enrichment broths. Our catalog covers every major microbiological application — from pharmaceutical environmental monitoring to food pathogen detection to clinical bacteriology.
HiCrome™ Chromogenic Media — HiMedia holds the largest chromogenic media portfolio worldwide, with rapid visual identification media for pathogens including E. coli, MRSA, Salmonella, Listeria, Candida, and more. HiCrome™ eliminates subculturing steps, cutting time-to-result in clinical and food safety labs.
Animal-Free & Chemically Defined Media
HiVeg™ — Our industry-leading animal-free culture media range replaces animal-derived peptones with plant-based equivalents, eliminating BSE/TSE contamination risk entirely. HiVeg™ is the standard of choice for biopharmaceutical manufacturers requiring animal component-free (ACF) raw materials.
HiCynth™ — Chemically defined media formulations delivering exceptional batch-to-batch consistency, full traceability, and zero BSE/TSE/GMO risk — purpose-built for regulated pharmaceutical and cell therapy manufacturing environments.
Molecular Biology
A comprehensive range of nucleic acid purification kits, PCR reagents, sequencing reagents, cloning tools, and transfection media supporting genomics, diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical research workflows across the US.
Cell Culture
Premium cell culture media, sera alternatives, growth factors, and specialized media for mammalian, insect, and stem cell applications in drug development, vaccine manufacturing, and regenerative medicine.
