Oxoid Trichomonas Medium is used for cultivation of Trichomonas vaginalis.

Trichomonas Medium, Oxoid Composition

Trichomonas Medium, Oxoid Preparation:
Suspend 37.5g in 1 litre of distilled water and bring to the boil to dissolve. Sterilise by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to approximately 50°C. Inactivate 80ml of horse serum, adjust to pH 6.0 and add it to the medium. For diagnostic work, bacterial growth may be suppressed by the addition of 1000 units of penicillin and 500µg of streptomycin per ml of medium or 100µg of chloramphenicol per ml of medium (1 vial of SR0078 per 500ml medium).

Prior to incorporation in the medium, Horse Serum SR0035 is inactivated by maintaining at a temperature of 56°C for 30 minutes, and then acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid to pH 6.0.

Storage conditions and Shelf life
Store the dehydrated medium at 10-30°C and use before the expiry date on the label.
Store the prepared medium at 2-8°C.

Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid T.T.C. Solution is a solution for the addition to KF Streptococcus Agar for the enumeration of entercocci.

T.T.C. Solution, Oxoid Composition

Medium Preparation:
Aseptically add the contents to 500ml of KF Streptococcus Agar CM0701 cooled to approximatly 50°C. Mix gently and pour into sterile Petri dishes.

Isolate, enumerate and differentiate coliforms in dairy products with differential Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Desoxycholate Agar (Dehydrated). The medium is also used for the isolation of enteric pathogens from rectal swabs, feces or other specimens. Differentiation of coliforms is based on the fermentation of lactose. Lactose fermenting bacteria form pink colored colonies while non-lactose fermenters form straw colored colonies.

Desoxycholate Agar, Oxoid Composition

Desoxycholate Agar, Oxoid Preparation:
Suspend 45g in 1 litre of distilled water. Bring to the boil over gauze and flame to dissolve the medium completely. Agitate to prevent charring.
THIS MEDIUM IS HEAT SENSITIVE. AVOID EXCESSIVE OR PROLONGED HEATING DURING RECONSTITUTION. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE OR REMELT.

Storage conditions and Shelf life
Store the dehydrated medium at 10-30°C and use before the expiry date on the label.
Store the prepared agar plates at 2-8°C.

Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid Brilliance™ UTI Agar (formerly Chomogenic UTI Agar ) is a chromogenic medium for the presumptive identification and differentiation of all the main micro-organisms that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Brilliance UTI Agar, Oxoid Composition

Brilliance UTI Agar, Oxoid Preparation:
Suspend 56.3g of Brilliance UTI Agar in 1 litre of distilled water, mix well and sterilise by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to 50°C and mix well before pouring plates.

Storage conditions and Shelf life
Dehydrated Brilliance UTI Agar must be stored tightly capped in the original container at 10-30ºC.
Oxoid Brilliance UTI Agar plates should be stored in the original packaging, at the temperature stated on the pack or product specification, and protected from direct light.

When stored as directed, the unopened product will remain stable until the expiry date on the label. Locally prepared media can be stored for up to 2 weeks when made from CM0949 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and stored at 2-8ºC, in the dark. A longer shelf life may be attainable, but should be validated under the relevant, local manufacturing and storage conditions.
