CAD$95.75

Cetrimide Agar is a selective medium for the isolation and enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in biological samples of animal origin and in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

Its typical composition corresponds to that defined in European (EP), United States (UP) and Japanese (JP) Pharmacopeias, and in the Directive NF EN ISO 22717 for the control of cosmetic products.

Available in formats 10 x 100ml media bottle, 60 plates/box (long life) and dehydrated powder 500g (BK049HA).

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.

Available format:

Bottled agar 10 X 100ml
Long Life, 60 plates

QUANTITY

Cetrimide (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) is a quaternary ammonium compound which inhibits a large number of bacteria including species of Pseudomonas other than Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The production of pyocyanin (a blue, non-fluorescent pigment soluble in water and chloroform) is stimulated by magnesium chloride and potassium sulfate.

The medium also favors the production of fluorescent pigments (pyoverdins) by some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Most Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be identified by the characteristic grapelike odor of aminoacetophenone.
