Product Description
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a widely used microbiological medium designed specifically for the isolation and cultivation of fungi, including dermatophytes and yeasts. This formulation from Himedia provides a nutrient-rich environment that supports fungal growth while inhibiting bacterial contamination, making it ideal for clinical and research laboratories.
The medium contains peptones as a nitrogen source, dextrose as a carbon source, and agar as a solidifying agent. Its slightly acidic pH (around 5.6) further enhances fungal selectivity by suppressing bacterial growth. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this 100 ml pack ensures consistent results for your mycological studies.
