Columbia Blood Agar/Columbia Agar with Chocolate Horse Blood Biplate

Cultivate and isolate fastidious microorganisms with clearly visible haemolytic reactions (staphylococci and streptococci) using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Columbia Blood Agar/Columbia Agar with Chocolate Horse Blood Biplate. The convenient biplate format allows simultaneous detection of fastidious and non-fastidous pathogens for faster diagnostic decisions.

Traditionally, blood agar bases have been either casein hydrolysate or meat infusion media. The advantage of the first lies in the rapid production of large colonies, and of the second in clearly defined zones of hemolysis and good colonial differentiation. Columbia Agar Base combines the virtues of both these types of media to give improved all-round performance, showing versatility and superior performance in several applications.

• Produces large colonies of fastidious microorganisms with clearly defined hemolytic reactions and colonial morphology
• Ready-to-use convenience of prepared media
• Space-saving bi-plate format
