Merck, 1.46052, Sabouraud Dextrose Agar

General description
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar + LTHTh in 90 mm settle plate with 30 mL filling volume for long incubation is designed for the detection of yeasts and molds in the air via active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in controlled environments in the presence of disinfectant residues.
Sabouraud Dextrose Medium contains digests of animal tissues (peptones), which provide a nutritious source of amino acids and nitrogenous compounds for the growth of fungi and yeasts. Dextrose is added as the energy and carbon source. The low pH favors fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from samples. Additionally, the medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate (Tween®) 80, histidine, and Sodium thiosulphate to inactivate disinfectant residues.
Application
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar + LTHTh settle plate is designed for the detection of the total count of yeasts and molds in air and from personnel in less critical environments.
