Dehydrated microbiology media is used for the cultivation and maintenance of various microorganisms. Products are available in various quantities and formats for a wide range of applications.
Cultivate and enumerate yeasts with general purpose mycological Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Wort Agar (Dehydrated). The medium equivalent to the medium described by Parfitt1 duplicates the acidity of natural wort making it optimal for many yeasts but inhibitory to most bacteria.
Select and identify salmonellae (other than Salmonella Typhi) from food, feed and water samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Modified Brilliant Green Agar (Dehydrated). The modified formula provides improved inhibition of Escherichia coli and Proteus species.
Perform effortless Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Mueller Hinton Broth (Dehydrated), a medium that can be used in internationally recognized standard procedures.
Isolate salmonellae and suppress the Proteus species with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Muller-Kauffmann Tetrathionate Broth Base (Dehydrated). The enrichment medium contains brilliant green and ox bile to suppress the commensal organisms, thus improving the isolation of salmonellae.
Enrich and isolate Salmonella from feces and food products with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Selenite Broth Base (Lactose).The presence of Selenium in the medium provides selectivity against non-target bacteria.
Grow and isolate aerobic and anaerobic organisms of the intestinal tract, which may require selective conditions to inhibit the growth of background organisms like Escherichia coli, with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Schaedler Anaerobe Agar.
Isolate, enumerate and differentiate urinary pathogens with good colonial differentiation and clear diagnostic characteristics using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ CLED Medium w/Andrade's Indicator (Dehydrated). The medium is a modification of the CLED Medium as described by Mackey and Sandys1.
Detect and enumerate Enterobacteriaceae in food products with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar (Dehydrated). This glucose-containing selective medium gives reproducible counts of typical colonies for food safety analysis.
Isolate and identify dermatophyte fungi from hair, nails or skin scrapings using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Dermasel Agar Base (Dehydrated) when used with Dermasel Selective Supplement (SR0075). The near neutral pH of the medium is better for the growth of fungi.
Enrich and improve the isolation of salmonellae from feces and food samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Selenite Cystine Broth Base. This modified medium is based upon the formulation described by Leifson1 with added cystine.2
Isolate and presumptively identify Staphylococcus aureus from clinical specimens and food with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Vogel-Johnson Agar (Dehydrated). The medium is based on the formula corresponding to the United States Pharmacopoeia1.
Selectively detect Escherichia coli from food and environmental samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ EC Broth (Dehydrated). EC Broth is a selective medium for the differentiation of fecal coliforms and the confirmatory test for Escherichia coli from food and environmental samples1,2.
Detect enterococci in water and sewage samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Azide Dextrose Broth (Dehydrated). A blend of peptone and glucose in the medium renders Azide Dextrose Broth highly nutritious, and sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium.
