Overview

Product overview

XLD Agar is used to isolate and differentiate enteric pathogens, with Salmonella and Shigella species named as the main targets, and it references ISO 6579. Biocomma offers it as a dehydrated powder (GF1022F) and as a granulated medium (KL1022F); the granulated listing also mentions FDA BAM.

The formulation combines xylose, lactose and sucrose with lysine, sodium thiosulfate, ferric ammonium citrate and phenol red, and is selective through sodium deoxycholate. The medium is prepared at 55.4 g per litre of purified water and only needs to be boiled to dissolve; it must not be autoclaved.
