Sabouraud Dextrose Agar

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar + LTHTh − ICR+ contact plate is a selective media for the determination of the total count of yeasts and molds. Contact plates are used for surface monitoring as well to monitor personnel. 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 and low pH favours fungal growth. In addition, Lecithin, polysorbate 80 (Tween^®), Histidine and Sodium thiosulfate are neutralizers to inactivate residues of disinfectants. In addition, the plate model (plus or “+”) is supplied with a lockable lid for safe transport of the samples without the risk of losing the lid. For anaerobic incubation the lid is to be turned into the vent position.

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a selective medium for cultivation and isolation of yeasts and molds. The media is used for environmental monitoring by determining the yeast and mold on surfaces and of personnel.
