Thermo Scientific™ Pre-supplemented Dichloran Rose-bengal Chloramphenicol (DRBC) (ISO) Agar (Dehydrated)

Description

• Isolate and enumerate yeasts and molds associated with food spoilage with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Pre-supplemented Dichloran Rose-Bengal Chloramphenicol (DRBC) (ISO) Agar Base (Dehydrated) while adhering to ISO 21527-1: 2008
• Due to the presence of antibiotic Chloramphenicol in the formulation, the medium provides selectivity against bacteria as well as reducing harmful chemical handling in the laboratory
• Use Pre-supplemented Dichloran Rose-Bengal Chloramphenicol (DRBC) Agar Base for selective isolation and enumeration of viable yeast and molds in food products with a water activity above 0.95 aW
• Adheres to ISO 21527-1: 2008 standards
• Selective for viable yeast and mold samples in food samples
• DRBC (ISO) is a modification of the original Rose-Bengal Chloramphenicol Medium 1 and differs as the Rose-Bengal content has been optimized by adding Dichloran and by changing the pH to 5.6
• The inclusion of chloramphenicol in this medium suppresses bacterial growth, allowing molds, and yeasts to grow
• The inhibition of spreading molds and the restriction of their colony size results in improved enumeration and detection
• The reduced pH of DRBC (ISO) Agar increases the inhibition of yeasts by the rose-bengal
• Pre-supplemented DRBC (ISO) Agar contains 0.1g per litre chloramphenicol in the agar base
• This removes the need for supplementation and handling of the chloramphenicol
