Bile esculin azide agar ISO 7899-2:2000

NA.85

Selective medium for the isolation and presumptive identification of intestinal enterococci by Membrane filtration method.

Suspend 56.6 grams of the medium in one liter of distilled water. Mix well and dissolve by heating with frequent agitation. Boil for one minute until complete dissolution. Dispense into appropriate containers and sterilize in autoclave at 121ºC for 15 minutes. Overheating can cause darkening of the medium. If tubes are used, allow cooling in a slanted position

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult^® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect^® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
