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 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.
Isolate and enumerate yeasts and molds from dairy products1, the surface of fresh meats, cured meats and sausage products and other foods2 with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Potato Dextrose Agar. This medium is suitable for the detection and enumeration of heat resistant molds in thermally processed...
Isolate and identify Salmonella and Shigella spp. with Thermo Scientific™ XLD Agar, a selective medium that relies on xylose fermentation, lysine decarboxylation and production of hydrogen sulphide for the primary differentiation of shigellae and salmonellae from non-pathogenic bacteria.
Perform effortless susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenza with ready-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Haemophilus Test Medium (HTM). The medium forms part of the recommended methods of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)1.
Detect and isolate Listeria monocytogenes from food samples with ready-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ PALCAM Medium. The PALCAM Medium base is highly selective and contains a double indicator system that allows easy differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes, based upon aesculin fermentation, lack...
Isolate and differentiate Shigella and Salmonella spp. from clinical specimens and food, with ready-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Hektoen Enteric Agar. This selective medium is recommended for the isolation of salmonella from foods according to the Bacteriological Analytical Manual1.
Isolate Clostridium perfringens in water with Thermo Scientific™ mCP Selective Agar and idenitfy characteristic growth of opaque yellow colonies. Most other Clostridium spp. will appear as either purple colonies, due to the lack of sucrose fermentation, or blue/green colonies where the organism is...
Presumptively confirm the presence of Legionellaceae from clinical and environmental samples with ready-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Legionella BCYE Medium without Cysteine. Presumptive confirmation of Legionella is based on the fact that Legionellaceae have an absolute nutritional requirement...
Isolate and detect Listeria monocytogenes from clinical, food and environmental samples with the diagnostic Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Listeria Selective Agar (Oxford Formulation). The medium is based on the formulations described by Curtis et al.
Isolate and identify dermatophytes and other fungi from hair, nail or skin scrapings using selective Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Dermasel Agar. Dermatophytes cultured on Dermasel Agar show characteristic colonial morphology with typical pigmentation.
Isolate Legionella from clinical specimens using Thermo Scientific™ Legionella BMPA Selective Agar, a selective medium that exhibits optimal recovery of Legionellaceae in short incubation periods from both environmental samples and clinical specimens.
Select and identify salmonellae (other than Salmonella typhi) from food, feed, water, and clinical samples with Thermo Scientific™ Brilliant Green Agar (Modified) diagnostic medium. The modified formula provides improved inhibition of Escherichia coli and Proteus species.
Isolate and enumerate Yersinia enterocolitica from clinical specimens and food samples after 18 to 24 hours using Thermo Scientific™ Yersinia Selective Agar (CIN Agar).
Enumerate heterotrophic bacteria from drinking water samples with ready-to-use Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ R2A Agar. This nutritionally reduced medium was specially designed to enhance the recovery of stressed and chlorine damaged bacteria from treated water samples.
