Application

Sabouraud Glucose Agar + LTH settle plate is designed for the detection of the total count of yeasts and molds in air and from personnel in less critical environments.

General description

Sabouraud Glucose Agar + LTH in 90 mm settle plate is designed for the detection of yeasts and molds in the air via active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in controlled environments in the presence of disinfectant residues. Sabouraud Glucose Medium contains digests of animal tissues (peptones), which provide a nutritious source of amino acids and nitrogenous compounds for the growth of fungi and yeasts. Glucose (4%) is added as the energy and carbon source. The low pH favors fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from samples. Additionally, the medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate (Tween^®) 80, and histidine to inactivate disinfectant residues.
