Presumptively identify Candida albicans from clinical specimens with ready-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Chromogenic Candida albicans Agar.

Chromogenic C. albicans Agar enables the differentiation of Candida albicans as blue colonies, whereas other Candida species grow as colorless colonies. The devices are for professional use only, are not automated, and are not for companion diagnostics.

Use Chromogenic C. albicans Agar for isolation and presumptive identification of Candida albicans from clinical specimens.

• Easy isolation and presumptive identification of Candida albicans
• Candida albicans differentiation as blue colonies
• Ready-to-use convenience of prepared media

Chromogenic C. albicans Agar is a selective chromogenic medium for the isolation of Candida spp. and presumptive identification of C. albicans. Differentiation of C. albicans is achieved by the addition of chromogenic substrate to detect the activity of enzyme β-Glucosaminidase.
