INTENDED USE
- BacterPlate™ BHIAgar is recommended for the cultivation of fastidious pathogenic bacteria, yeasts and moulds from clinical and non clinical samples.
- The packaging with semi-permeable Cellophane film helps balance the humidity of the environment during storage.
PRINCIPLES
- BacterPlate™ BHIAgar 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
- 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.
