Description

"Sabouraud Dextrose Agar + LTHTh - ICR in 90 mm settle plates (lockable) is a selective media for the determination of the total count of yeasts and molds in air via active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in isolators and clean rooms for sterility testing. 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 favours fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from samples. Lecithin, polysorbate 80 (Tween(R)), histidine and sodium thiosulfate are neutralizers to inactivate residues of active agents such as Aldehyde, Biguanides, Oxidizing compounds, Phenolic compounds and quaternary ammonium compounds. In addition, the plate model (plus or ""+"") is supplied with a lockable lid for safe transport after sampling without the risk of losing the lid as well as for aerobic incubation the plates should be locked in the ""CLOSED""-position (turn the lid clockwise) and for anaerobic or microaerophilic incubation in the ""VENT"" position (turn the lid anti-clockwise)"
