Culture Media

Gifu Anaerobic Medium Agar – Packaging: 300g

GAM Agar was developed by the Gifu University Medical School (Japan) to isolate and culture anaerobic bacteria from clinical samples.

It can also be used for antibiotic sensitivity tests (other than sulphonamide drugs).

Gifu Anaerobic Medium Broth – Packaging: 300g

GAM Broth contains haemin from digested serum, it is used to cultivate anaerobic bacteria.

It can also be used to detect other microorganisms such as streptococci, pneumococci and meningococci and is suitable for blood culture

Gifu Anaerobic Medium Agar modified – Packaging: 300g

The medium is a modified medium of GAM Agar that has been developed by the Gifu University Medical School (Japan) to isolate and culture anaerobic bacteria from clinical samples.

It can also be used for antibiotic sensitivity tests (other than sulphonamide drugs).

Gifu Anaerobic Medium Broth modified – Packaging: 100g

GAM Broth modified is used for the isolation and cultivation of anaerobic bacteria from clinical samples.

It is also used for antibiotic sensitivity tests (other than sulphonamide drugs).

Dehydrated Medium Clostridium Welchii Agar Base without Kanamycin – Packaging: 100g

This medium is supplemented with defibrinated blood. Clostridium Welchii (perfringens) form colonies with bright surface and a haemolytic ring.

When the colonies are exposed to air, they will turn green.

Dehydrated medium for differentiation of Bifidobacterium – Packaging: 300g

BL Agar allows the growth of anaerobic bacteria, especially lactobacilli, and enables differentiation of bacteria with characteristic colonies morphology.

Bifidobacterium generally forms smooth and brown or dark brown colonies. Some enteric bacteria form red colonies

Dehydrated medium for counting Clostridia colonies – Packaging: 300g

The medium is used for counting Clostridia colonies (spore forming, sulphurous acid reducing anaerobic bacterium) in foodstuff.

Clostridia develop colonies with a brown to black colour through the reduction of sulphurous acid. Other bacteria form light white colonies.

Dehydrated medium – Packaging: 100g

Salt Polymyxin Broth is used for the enrichment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from foodstuffs, especially from fish and fish-products.

Dehydrated medium – Packaging: 100g

Alkaline Peptone Water is used for enrichment of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus which proliferate mainly on the surface of the medium.

Dehydrated medium – Packaging: 300g

This is a highly selective medium and inhibits the growth of bacteria, other than Vibrio in faeces.

Dehydrated medium – Packaging: 300g

NGKG Agar Base was designed for the selection and detection of B. cereus from contaminated food products.

B. cereus spores can be visualised by microscopy after 18h of incubation at 30°C.

Dehydrated medium – Packaging: 100g

Candida GE Agar specifically allows the growth of Candida but inhibits the proliferation of bacteria.

Nitrofuran present in the medium significantly or completely inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacilli.

SCD Broth – Packaging: 300g

Trypto-Soya Broth (SCD Broth) is used for culturing fastidious bacteria such as Neisseria, Brucella, streptococci, and pneumococci.

SCD Agar – Packaging: 300g

Trypto-Soya Agar (SCD Agar) is multi-purposes Agar and allows the growth of fastidious bacteria which normally grow on Nutrient or Heart Infusion Agar.

Dehydrated medium – Granule – Packaging: 300g

TGC Broth is modified for clinical use and capable of growing a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

It’s also used for blood culture.

Desoxycholate Hydrogen Sulfide Lactose – Packaging: 300g

DHL Agar allows optimal growth of Shigella and Salmonella which do not grow well on SS Agar.

It is also used for the isolation of pathogenic coli.

Dehydrated medium – Packaging: 100g

The medium is used for inoculation of Lactobacilli.
