PRINCIPLES

BacterPlate™ BHI Agar with Chloramphenicol The medium contains brain and heart infusions that provide essential nutrients for microbial growth. Peptone and dextrose supply additional nitrogen, carbon, and energy sources. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance, while agar serves as the solidifying agent. The rich composition makes it ideal for the growth of a wide variety of organisms, including those that are nutritionally demanding. Chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial growth, creating favorable conditions for fungal growth.

Streak the surface of the medium with a bacterial suspension or inoculate directly from the sample. For fungal cultures, use appropriate inoculation techniques.
Incubate at the temperature and atmospheric conditions appropriate for the organism being cultured (e.g., aerobic, anaerobic, or microaerophilic).
Typical incubation: 35 – 37°C for 18 – 48 hours for bacteria; up to 7 days for fungal cultures.

RESULTS

Observe the growth characteristics, including colony morphology, color, and size.
Perform further biochemical or molecular tests for identification if needed.

BacterLab ensures the quality of each product batch by testing with ATCC reference strains.
