General description

Columbia Blood Agar settle plates supports rapid and luxuriant growth of fastidious and non-fastidious organisms. Also, this medium promotes typical colonial morphology, better pigment production, and more sharply defined hemolytic reactions. Starch serves as an energy source and neutralizes toxic metabolites. Sheep blood permits the detection of hemolysis and provides heme (X factor), which is required for the growth of many bacteria. Columbia Blood Agar is also appropriate for the cultivation of anaerobic bacteria or yeasts.

Application

Columbia Blood Agar is suitable for the isolation and cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious organisms as well as for detection of hemolysis in various clinical and Pharmaceutical samples.
