Description

General description

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar + LT – ICR+ settle plate is a selective media for the determination of the total count of yeasts and molds. Settle plates are used for active or passive air monitoring as well for fingerprints of personnel. Sabouraud Dextrose Medium contains digests of animal tissues (peptones) which provide a nutritious source of amino acids and nitrogenous compounds for the growth of fungi and yeasts. Dextrose is added as the energy and carbon source. The low pH favours fungal growth and Lecithin and polysorbate (Tween^®) 80 are neutralizers to inactivate residues of disinfectants. In addition, the plate model (plus or “+”) is supplied with a lockable lid for safe transport of the samples without the risk of losing the lid. For anaerobic incubation the lid has to be turned into the vent position.

Application

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a selective medium for cultivation and isolation of yeasts and molds. The media is used for environmental monitoring by determining the yeast and mold count in air by active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel.
