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.
