FAQs
What is Sabouraud Dextrose Agar used for?
SDA is primarily used to isolate and grow fungi, yeasts, and dermatophytes. The low pH and high dextrose content favor fungal growth while inhibiting bacteria.
How should I store these plates?
Store at 2–8°C in a sealed bag to prevent dehydration. Avoid freezing, as it may crack the agar.
Can I use these plates for bacterial culture?
No, SDA is formulated for fungi. For bacteria, consider nutrient agar or blood agar plates.
What is the shelf life of these plates?
Unopened plates have a shelf life of 12 months. Once opened, use within 30 days for best results.
Are these plates autoclavable?
No, these are pre-poured and ready to use. Autoclaving may damage the agar.
