Product Description
Sabouraud Chloramphenicol Agar Plates are essential for isolating and culturing fungi, particularly dermatophytes. These pre-poured plates contain chloramphenicol to inhibit bacterial growth, ensuring pure fungal cultures. The addition of LTHTh (Lecithin, Tween 80, Histidine, Thiamine) enhances fungal recovery, making them ideal for clinical and research laboratories.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, these plates provide reliable results for mycological studies. The convenient 20-plate pack ensures you have enough for multiple experiments without frequent restocking.

Key Applications
These agar plates are widely used in:
- Dermatology labs for fungal skin infections
- Microbiology research on yeast and molds
- Environmental sampling for fungal contamination
- Educational institutions for practical microbiology training
Why This Product Stands Out
Unlike standard Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, this formulation includes chloramphenicol to suppress bacterial interference. The LTHTh supplement further improves the recovery of fastidious fungi, giving you more accurate results. Each plate is sterilized and ready to use, saving you time in the lab.
For researchers and students working with fungal cultures, these plates offer consistency and reliability. The 20-plate pack is cost-effective for both small-scale experiments and larger studies.
Usage Guidelines
To achieve optimal results:
- Store plates at 2-8°C until use.
- Inoculate the agar surface with your sample using a sterile loop or swab.
- Incubate at 25-30°C for 3-7 days, depending on the fungal species.
- Observe colonial morphology for identification.
