Features and Benefits
  • BD BBL Phenylethyl Alcohol Agar with 5% Sheep Blood is a selective medium for the isolation of gram-positive organisms, particularly gram-positive cocci, from specimens of mixed gram-positive and gram-negative flora
  • The medium should not be used for determination of hemolytic reactions since atypical reactions may be observed
  • BD BBL Phenylethyl Alcohol Agar with 5% Sheep Blood supports the growth of gram-positive bacterial species, due to its content of peptones, which supply nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and trace nutrients
  • Ctn. of 100 plates
  • Trypticase™ Soy Agar is a general purpose medium which supports the growth of a variety of bacteria and fungi
  • Used for cultivating fastidious microorganisms and for visualization of hemolytic reactions produced by many bacterial species
  • MacConkey II Agar, a specially-designed improvement to MacConkey Agar, features increased inhibition of swarming Proteus spp., superior growth of enteric organisms and more definitive differentiation of lactose fermenters and nonfermenters
  • Macconkey agar is also used in the bam (bacteriological analytical manual) of the food and drug administration (fda) procedure for isolating e. coli from foods
  • 100 Plates
  • Mueller Hinton II Agar is used in the standardized disc diffusion procedure for determining the susceptibility of rapidly growing aerobic organisms to antimicrobial agents
  • Saline, normal (physiological) is used in procedures that require the use of an isotonic diluent
  • An isotonic diluent may be used for dilution of bacterial cells to provide a concentration suitable for microscopic observation, determination of cell numbers, analysis for genetic or metabolic properties, washing cells preparatory to study, or preparation of standardized inocula
  • BD Mycoflask media are packaged in specially designed trays for ease in handling and incubation
