TSYEA Medium (RTU)
TSYEA is a universal medium used in a number of applications or protocols. Given its excellent nutritive value, it is often used for the isolation and purification of microorganisms obtained from selective media (i.e. PALCAM agar, Oxford agar, COMPASS® Listeria Agar, etc.) for detection or enumeration of Listeria, and more specifically, Listeria monocytogenes according to the standards currently in vigor.
The typical composition corresponds to that defined in the standards NF EN ISO 11290-1 and NF EN ISO 11290-2.
Available as ready-to-melt medium: 50 tubes of 18 ml.
Also available as dehydrated medium: 500 g bottle (BK224HA).
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.
The association of Tryptone, papaic digest of soybean meal, yeast extract and glucose results in a synergy between the protein contribution of the casein, sugars from the soy peptone and glucose, and vitamins from yeast extract, allowing optimal growth for a number of both fastidious and non-fastidious bacteria.
Dipotassium phosphate acts as a buffering agent. By maintaining the pH, the recovery capacity of the medium is increased.
Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium.
