Overview

Product overview

Blood Agar Base is a nutrient agar base used to cultivate fastidious microorganisms and to define hemolytic reactions. It is built on peptone, beef extract, sodium chloride and agar, with a final pH of 7.3±0.2, and is completed by adding 5-10% sterile defibrinated sheep blood after sterilization.

Suspend 33.0 g in 1 L of distilled or deionized water, boil with frequent agitation to dissolve, autoclave at 121 °C for 15 minutes and cool to 45-50 °C before adding the blood. The medium is available as dehydrated powder (GF1048F, 5-year shelf life) and in granulated form (KL1048F, 3-year shelf life).

Not for clinical use.
