Description

General description
Sabouraud 4% Dextrose Agar is a complex, granulated, dehydrated culture medium for cultivation and isolation of yeasts and molds. It also serves as the absence test for Candida albicans. The high concentration of dextrose and the low pH promotes the growth, the formation of spores (Conidia and Sporangia), and the formation of pigments of yeasts and molds. Additionally, it inhibits the growth of bacteria.
Application
Sabouraud 4% Dextrose Agar is designed for the determination of the total count of yeasts and molds in non-sterile products.

Application Note

Merck GranuCult Prime Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is a dehydrated, granular culture medium for cultivating yeasts and molds. Its Sabouraud formulation contains 4% dextrose and is used in microbiology laboratories for fungal growth, culture-based examination, and quality-control workflows. The 5 kg pack is intended for laboratories preparing repeated batches of agar medium rather than buying individual ready-to-use plates. The granular format supports handling and preparation of culture media in controlled laboratory operations. Prepare, sterilize, dispense, and incubate the medium using the applicable laboratory method and quality requirements. The medium is not a ready-poured plate, and its suitability for a particular compendial examination depends on the full validated procedure.
