Dichloran Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol (DRBC) Agar

Reference : BK198HA

CAD$117.30

Dichloran Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol agar is recommended for the enumeration of viable yeasts and molds that develop in products destined for human and animal consumption with a water activity (aw) greater than 0.95.

The medium does not allow for the enumeration of mold spores.
The typical composition of the medium corresponds to that defined in the standard NF EN ISO 21527-1.

Available as dehydrated medium: 500 g bottle

Also available as ready-to-melt medium (BM14208) : 10 vials of 200 ml

In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone, an animal byproduct.

QUANTITY

The peptones and glucose assure the growth of the yeasts and molds.
Dichloran and rose bengal inhibit the invasion of molds and reduces the size of other colonies.
Rose bengal is easily assimilated by yeasts which tend to facilitate their counting by coloring them pink.

The presence of chloramphenicol, a heat resistant antibiotic, and chlortetracycline reinforces the selectivity of the medium against the majority of bacterial contaminants. Tergitol limits proliferation by Mucoraceae.
Zinc and copper in the form of sulfates improve the pigment production by molds.
