Blood Agar (500g)

Blood Agar (500g) Highlights

• Growth Medium Base: Blood agar is a type of growth medium used in laboratories for cultivating fastidious bacteria. It is a nutrient agar base enriched with blood, typically from sheep, horses, or rabbits.
• Hemolytic Activity Detection: The presence of red blood cells allows for the detection of hemolytic activity, where bacteria produce enzymes that lyse red blood cells. This is crucial for identifying bacterial species.
• Sterile Preparation Required: Blood agar plates must be prepared under sterile conditions to prevent contamination. The blood is usually added to the molten agar base just before pouring into plates.
• Storage Conditions: Prepared blood agar plates are typically stored under refrigeration (2-8°C) and have a limited shelf life. Proper storage is essential to maintain their quality and prevent degradation.
• Versatile Diagnostic Tool: This medium is widely used in clinical microbiology for the isolation and identification of a broad range of pathogenic bacteria, including Streptococcus species.
