Tryptic Soy Agar

Tryptic Soy Agar - ICR settle plate is designed for the determination of the total microbial aerobic count in Clean rooms and Isolators. Settle plates are used for air and personnel monitoring. Tryptic soy agar is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and molds.

• Used for air monitoring, microbiology, pharmaceutical
• 2D bar code, ready-to-use
• pH: 7,3 (in H₂O)

The formulation of the Soybean Casein-Digest medium contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. The medium is supplemented with pyruvate to neutralize efficiently hydrogen peroxide.

Application:
Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA, Soybean Casein Digest Agar) is a complex medium for cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and molds. The media finds its application in environmental monitoring by determining the total microbial aerobic count in air and on personnel in Isolators and Clean Rooms.
