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.
Cultivate and isolate fastidious organisms especially Neisseria spp., Haemophilus, and Gardnerella vaginalis using Thermo Scentific™ Chocolate Agar.
Selectively cultivate, isolate, and enumerate yeasts and molds from environmental and food specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Contact I Rose Bengal Agar (with chloramphenicol). Smith and Dawson added rose bengal to a medium with neutral pH for selective isolation of fungi from soil samples1.
Selectively detect sorbitol-negative Escherichia coli O157:H7 (VTEC) with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ MacConkey Sorbitol Agar with Cefixime and Tellurite. The medium is recommended by Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (FDA/CFSAN) and the American Public Health...
Selectively recover Salmonella species other than Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ XLT4 Agar Monoplate. XLT4 (Xylose-Lysine-Tergitol 4) Agar was developed by Miller and Tate to selectively screen samples contaminated with enteric organisms for the presence of...
Thermo Scientific™ Remel LB Agar with Ampicillin (100μg/mL) (Luria-Bertani) is used for the cultivation and maintenance of Escherichia coli for genetic and molecular studies.
Enumerate and cultivate heterotrophic bacteria from potable water using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ R2A Agar. The growth of stressed and chlorine-tolerant bacteria recovered from treated waters is stimulated using a less nutritious medium, lower incubation temperatures, and longer incubation times.
Thermo Scientific™ Remel Columbia Agar MLT facilitates cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms, including Clostridium sporogenes.
Thermo Scientific™ Remel Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) (Soybean Casein Digest Agar) is a general purpose medium for cultivation and isolation of microorganisms.
Thermo Scientific™ Remel Buffered CYE Select Agar Glycine, Polymyxin B, Anisomycin, Vancomycin BCYE Glycine PAV is for selective recovery of Legionella pneumophila while reducing contaminating microorganisms from potable water samples.
Isolate Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis with Thermo Scientific™ Remel JEMBEC System w/Thayer Martin Agar Modified (w/nystatin, colistin, vancomycin, trimethoprim). Johnston introduced a medium to grow N. gonorrhoeae in 24 hours1 and this was the advent of GC Agar Base.
Selectively isolate and differentiate Salmonella species other than Salmonella typhi from food and other materials with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Brilliant Green Agar with Novobiocin. The medium is recommended by the American Public Health (APHA) for the recovery of Salmonella from food products1.
Detect and enumerate microorganisms present on surfaces of sanitary importance using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Tryptic Soy Agar with Lecithin, Polysorbate 80 (Microbial Content Test Agar). The combination of lecithin and polysorbate 80 in an agar medium effectively neutralizes disinfectants1.
Grow and isolate obligate and facultative anaerobic organisms, such as the fastidious anaerobic bacteria Bacteroides, Prevotella and Porphyromonas, using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Schaedler Anaerobe Agar with Sheep Blood, Haemin and Vitamin K1
Isolate and identify fungi from clinical specimens using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Potato Flake Agar. In 1982, Rinaldi reported that Potato Flake Agar promotes sporulation of molds, is easy to prepare and stable to store1.
