SOYBEAN CASEIN DIGEST AGAR PLATE W/1% GLYCEROL (γ- Irradiated) (Triple Pack)

Soyabean Casein Digest Agar is a widely used medium that supports the growth of a wide variety of organisms, even that of fastidious ones such as Neisseria, Listeria, Brucella, etc. The medium with the addition of blood provides perfectly defined haemolysis zones while preventing the lysis of erythrocytes due to its sodium chloride content. It has been frequently used in the health industry to produce antigens, toxins, etc. Its simple and inhibitor-free composition makes it suitable for the detection of antimicrobial agents in food and other products. Tryptone Soya Agar is recommended by various pharmacopoeias as a sterility testing medium. The media are gamma irradiated in the packaging material to assure a reduction of the microbial load potentially present in the medium, on the dishes, and on the packaging materials.
