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.
Detect common urinary tract pathogens using Thermo Scientific™ CLED Agar, a traditional media which provides good colonial differentiation, clear diagnostic characteristics and prevents swarming from Proteus spp. due to the electrolyte deficiency in the formulation.
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 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...
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.
Detect and isolate enterohaemolysin-forming enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) in clinical and food samples using Thermo Scientific™ Enterohaemolysin Agar with Blood monoplates.
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.
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 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.
Recognize Gram-positive cocci easier using Thermo Scientific™ Columbia Horse Blood CNA Agar, a selective medium for the isolation of staphylococci and streptococci from both clinical specimens and food samples.
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.
Cultivate and isolate a wide variety of fastidious microorganisms with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Columbia Blood Agar with 8mg/L Aztreonam. Columbia Agar is an ideal base medium for the addition of blood, especially in selective formulations when supplemented with antimicrobial agents.
