Thermo Fisher, R02110, Middlebrook 7H11 Agar/Middlebrook 7H11 Agar Biplate

Unit Size: Each
Produce more screening details of pathogenic organisms while reducing storage capacity issues in the incubator with a bi-plate that includes widely used microbiological medium for the detection of Mycobacterium species.
• Selective media –Malachite green dye inhibits contaminating bacteria other than mycobacteria
• Ready-to-use –Convenience of prepared media
• Space saving–Bi-plate format
• Increased throughput–Fewer plates to process per sample allows greater throughput in automated specimen processors.Middlebrook 7H11 Agar is a solid medium that is used to isolate and cultivate Mycobacterium secies from specimens that contain mixed flora. Middlebrook 7H11 Agar contains casein hydrolysate that stimulates growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and inorganic salts essential for the growth of mycobacteria. Glycerol is the energy source. Sodium citrate provides inorganic cations in solution. Supplemental OADC Enrichment contains sodium chloride that maintains osmotic equilibrium abd dextrose as an energy source. Catalase destoys toxic peroxides that may be present in the medium, oleic acid is a fatty acid that is utilized in the mechanism of mycobacteria, and albumin protects tubercle bacilli against toxic agents.
