Detect and enumerate coliform organisms, including E. coli, while isolating and detecting Salmonella and Shigella spp. in both pathological and food specimens using Thermo Scientific™ MacConkey Agar No. 3.
Isolate and identify Gardnerella vaginalis from clinical specimens using Thermo Scientific™ Gardnerella vaginalis Selective Medium, a selective medium containing a special blood agar base designed to enhance the growth of fastidious organisms while maintaining osmotic balance.
Isolate and enumerate pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ D.C.L.S. Agar (Desoxycholate, Citrate, Lactose, Sucrose). Due to the presence of sucrose in the medium, sucrose fermenting organisms such as Proteus, Enterobacter and Klebsiella form red colored colonies.
Detect the microbial deoxyribonuclease enzymes, particularly from staphylococci with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ DNASE Agar. A DNase (deoxyribonuclease) is any enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of phosphodiester linkages of DNA leading to its degradation.
Cultivate and isolate a wide variety of fastidious microorganisms with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Columbia Blood Agar with Neomycin. Columbia Agar is an ideal base medium for the addition of blood especially in selective formulations when supplemented with antimicrobial agents.
Isolate, identify and differentiate Clostridium difficile using Thermo Scientific™ Clostridium Difficile Selective Agar, a selective medium with two key components to inhibit non-target organisms.
Improve isolation of Campylobacter species from fecal specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Campylobacter Selective Agar (Butzler), recommended for the isolation of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from clinical specimens.
Isolate fastidious and non‑fastidious anaerobic bacteria from clinical samples within 24 to 72 hours using Thermo Scientific™ Anaerobe Recovery and Isolation Agar (A.R.I.A™).
Isolate and differentiate bacteria involved in bovine mastitis with Thermo Scientific™ Aesculin Blood Agar (Modified). Due to the relatively high agar content, the medium exhibits a high gel strength so that all samples of a quarter milk can be spread onto a single plate for greater efficiency.
Grow a wide variety of fastidious organisms on Thermo Scientific™ Blood Agar (TSA with Sheep Blood), a general purpose non-selective medium with the addition of sheep blood in the formulation to promote the presence and visualization of haemolytic reactions so it can be used as a diagnostic tool.
Perform effortless Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests (AST) for fastidious organisms using Thermo Scientific™ Mueller-Hinton Agar with 5% Sheep Blood prepared media plates. A precise clear zone will help to determine if the bacteria is resistant or sensitive to the antibiotics used.
Isolate and presumptively identify Clostridium difficile from clinical specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Brazier's Clostridium Difficile Selective Agar (HPA). The presence of p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in the medium promotes the production of p-cresol - a metabolite of C.
Isolate and cultivate Bordetella pertussis from clinical samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Bordetella Selective Medium. The medium utilizes Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Charcoal Agar as a base with the addition of cephalexin and M&B 938.
Isolate and cultivate fastidious microorganisms with clearly visible haemolytic reactions (Staphylococci and Streptococci) with a media formulation that contains sheep blood. Thermo Scientific™ Columbia Agar with Sheep Blood PLUS promotes haemolysis typical of Staphylococcus aureus, and it gives...
Perform effortless Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) using Thermo Scientific™ Mueller Hinton Agar with Horse Blood, a medium designed and manufactured according to the European standard, EUCAST.
