Columbia Blood Agar Base (500g)

Columbia Blood Agar Base (500g) Highlights

• Versatile Growth Medium: Columbia Blood Agar is a general-purpose enriched medium used for the cultivation of fastidious bacteria, including many clinically significant pathogens. It supports the growth of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms.
• Enrichment for Blood Cells: The addition of blood, typically sheep or horse blood, to the agar base provides essential nutrients and growth factors. It also allows for the detection of hemolysis, a key characteristic for bacterial identification.
• Broad Spectrum Application: This medium is widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for primary isolation and subculturing of a diverse range of bacteria from various sample types. It is particularly useful for detecting organisms that may not grow on less enriched media.
• Quality Control Standard: Columbia Blood Agar is a standard and reliable choice for routine microbiological testing. Its formulation is designed to promote consistent and reproducible growth of target microorganisms.
• Storage and Preparation: Prepared media should be stored properly, typically refrigerated, to maintain viability and prevent contamination. It is often used in a sterile laboratory environment for optimal results.
