Description

General description

Tryptic Soy Agar - ICR in 90 mm settle plates is designed for the enumeration of the total aerobic microbial count in air via active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in isolators and clean rooms. The medium supports the growth of non-fastidious as well as moderately fastidious microorganisms. The formulation of the Soybean Casein-Digest medium contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particular amino acids and longer-chained peptides. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium and the medium is supplemented with pyruvate to neutralize potential residues of hydrogen peroxide resulting of the decontamination of isolators.

Application

Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA, Soybean Casein Digest Agar) is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and molds. The media finds its application in environmental monitoring by determining the total aerobic microbial count in air through active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in isolators and clean rooms

Analysis Note

Tryptic Soy Agar - ICR settle plate, is a non-lockable plate and should be used for aerobic incubation only.
