Columbia Agar with Horse Blood/MacConkey Agar without Salt Biplate

Cultivate, isolate and identify a broad range of microorganisms while simultaneously detecting and enumerating coliform organisms with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Columbia Agar with Horse Blood/MacConkey Agar without Salt Biplate.

Columbia Blood Agar promotes rapid production of large colonies, clearly defined zones of haemolysis and good colonial differentiation while MacConkey Agar without Salt suppresses the swarming of Proteus species and is, therefore recommended for urine examination in the investigation of suspected urinary tract infection (UTI).

Produce more diagnostic details of pathogenic organisms while reducing storage capacity issue in the incubator with a bi-plate that combines Gram-positive and Gram-negative organism detection on a single plate, allowing laboratories to get the full clinical picture for the next diagnostic decision.

• Prevents the overgrowth of non-target organisms: MacConkey Agar without salt provides a low electrolyte medium on which most Proteus species do not spread making it suitable for examination of urine samples.
• Improves diagnostic decision making: combines Gram-positive and Gram-negative organism detection on a single plate, allowing the laboratories get the full clinical picture for the next diagnostic decision.
• Ready-to-use: convenience of prepared media
• Space saving: bi-plate format
