Overview

Product overview

Columbia CNA Blood Agar Base is intended for isolating and cultivating Gram-positive cocci. The product description states it is used with colistin and nalidixic acid and with defibrinated blood, and it can be used to prepare Columbia CNA blood agar by adding sterile defibrinated sheep blood.

Suspend 42.5 g in 1 L of distilled or deionized water, boil with frequent agitation until dissolved, dispense into conical flasks and autoclave at 121 °C for 15 minutes. At 45-50 °C add 5-10 mL of sterile defibrinated sheep blood and one tube of the matching reagent (SR0420) per 100 mL of medium, mix well and pour. The final pH is 7.3 ± 0.2.

Powder (GF1096F) and granulated (KL1096F) versions share the same composition. Wear a mask when weighing; the product is not for clinical use.
