Application

Formulated to yield maximum recovery of fastidious pathogenic microorganisms.

Preparation Note

Suspend 21.25 g of Blood Agar Base No. 2 in 500 ml distilled water. Boil to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs. pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 40-50°C and aseptically add 7% v/v sterile defibrinated blood.

Other Notes

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.

Streptococci- Overview of Detection, Identification, Differentiation and Cultivation Techniques

Chromogenic media enable the selective detection of S. aureus, which produce bluish-green colonies that are clearly differentiated from other species.

Campylobacter spp. are regarded as the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide.

Protocols

Ensure food safety with our robust Listeria monocytogenes testing methods, including biochemical tests, chromogenic media, and rapid detection methods.
