• Also available Ampicillin Selective Supplement, Part No. SR0136E.

Aeromonas Medium Base (Ryan), Oxoid Composition

Aeromonas Medium Base (Ryan), Oxoid Preparation:
Suspend 29.5g in 500ml of distilled water. Bring gently to the boil. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE. Cool to 50°C and aseptically add one vial of Ampicillin Selective Supplement SR0136 reconsituted as directed. Mix well and pour plates.

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 plates of medium 2-8°C.

Precautions
Although Aeromonas and Plesiomonas spp will grow on the medium if ampicillin is omitted, it will be more difficult to distinguish them from the other organisms present on the plate. Suspected colonies of Aeromonas spp must be confirmed by biochemical tests.

Agar Bacteriological (Agar No. 1, Oxoid) is a clear purified high gel strength bacteriological agar compatible with all culture media. This agar has low calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) levels and has very high working gel strength (1.5% w/v).

Agar Bacteriological, Oxoid is compatible with all culture media. It can be formulated to either broth or agar of the same medium with very similar metal values. This characteristic is especially valuable in antimicrobial MIC studies where differences in mineral/metal content can profoundly influence the results. Due to the low mineral/metal content in Agar Bacteriological, Oxoid, it allows free diffusion of antimicrobial substances. As a result, it is a highly satisfactory agar for antimicrobial diffusion studies (disc diffusion susceptibility tests).

Oxoid Agar Technical (Agar No. 3) is a technical grade, high working gel strength agar (1.2% w/v) suitable for purposes where clarity and compatibility are not of prime importance or where the high mineral/metal content has cultural advantages.

Enrich and recover Vibrio species from food and water samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Alkaline Saline Peptone Water (ISO) (Dehydrated), while adhering to ISO/TS 21872-1&2:2007. This medium is selective by exploiting the ability of Vibrio species to tolerate alkaline conditions and high sodium chloride levels. The peptone content provides the conditions for growth and recovery of Vibrio species, supplying vitamins, minerals, and nitrogen in the form of amino acids.

Alkaline Saline Peptone Water (ISO), Oxoid Preparation:

Dissolve 40g in 1 litre of distilled water. Mix well and distribute into final containers. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes.
