Agar gel reagent INTRAY® SAB+PVG

gentamicinfor microbiologybacteria

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is recommended in the United State Pharmocopoeia (USP) for use in performing total combined mold and yeast counts (Microbial Limits Tests). InTray SAB+PVG prepared plated culture media are general-purpose microbiology devices that allow for simultaneous growth and observation of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, including yeasts and dermatophytes. For isolation of fungi from potentially contaminated specimens, best practice suggests InTray SAB+PVG should be run in parallel with the non-selective InTray SAB-FungID. InTray SAB+PVG is slightly inhibitory against bacteria and is designed for sampling a large spectrum of fungal growth. Bacterial inhibition is further enhanced with the introduction of the antibiotics Polymyxin B, Vancomycin and Gentamicin – which is used for samples with suspected high levels of bacterial contamination. SPECIFICATIONS Product Principle - Durable injection molded device Highly selective media designed for growth, transport and result Sealed environment with Tyvek® air filtration Resealable media well reduces exposure and contamination Simple Convenience - InTray is designed for specimen collection/ inoculation at point-of-care Saves time, material cost and waste, reducing exposure to collected sample Place directly on the microscope tray for observation through the cassette’s clear anti-fog window Selectively produces distinctive colony growth with typical identifiable morphology FEATURES AND BENEFITS SHELF-LIFE AND DURABILITY Designed for long shelf life, durability and stackable for incubation, or 12 month storage. No re-plate or wet mount
