Product Description
When it comes to isolating and culturing fungi, having the right media is crucial. The Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Plate with Chloramphenicol and Cycloheximide from Himedia is designed specifically for this purpose. These pre-poured plates provide a selective environment that inhibits bacterial growth while promoting fungal development, making them ideal for clinical and research laboratories.
Chloramphenicol at 50 mg/L effectively suppresses most bacteria, while cycloheximide at 500 mg/L inhibits saprophytic fungi, allowing for the selective growth of pathogenic fungi. This combination makes these plates particularly useful for diagnostic applications where fungal identification is critical.
Whether you’re a student working on a microbiology project or a researcher studying fungal infections, these plates offer consistency and reliability. The convenience of pre-poured plates saves time and reduces the risk of contamination during preparation.
For accurate fungal isolation and identification, these Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Plates are a must-have in your lab.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of quality lab supplies. That’s why we’ve curated this product to meet the needs of students, educators, and researchers across India. With fast shipping and reliable service, you can focus on your work without worrying about supply chain delays.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of these Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Plates?
The plates typically have a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly at 2-8°C. Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use.
Can these plates be used for bacterial culture?
No, these plates are specifically formulated to inhibit bacterial growth while promoting fungal development. For bacterial culture, you would need different media.
How should I store these plates before use?
Store the plates in their original packaging at 2-8°C. Avoid freezing as this can affect the media’s performance.
Are these plates suitable for environmental sampling?
Yes, these plates are excellent for environmental monitoring of fungal contamination in air, water, or surface samples.
What’s the difference between these plates and regular Sabouraud Dextrose Agar?
The key difference is the addition of chloramphenicol and cycloheximide, which make these plates selective for fungi by inhibiting bacterial and saprophytic fungal growth.
