Yeast Extract Agar

Yeast Extract Agar is used in water microbiology for the enumeration of culturable microorganisms by colony count at 36 and 22°C. The method is intended to measure the functional efficiency of drinking water treatment, and more generally, all types of water. It is particularly well adapted to the analysis of water destined for human consumption, including bottled and natural mineral waters and swimming pool water.

The typical composition corresponds to the composition found in the mandatory applications standards NF EN ISO 6222 and NF T90-421.

Available in the following formats: dehydrated medium: 500 g bottle.

Also available as ready-to-melt medium: 10 vials of 200 ml (BM06808).

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.
