The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Ampicillin Selective Supplement is a freeze-dried preparation specifically designed to facilitate the isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila, a bacterium commonly found in aquatic environments and often associated with waterborne infections. This selective supplement is intended for use with Aeromonas Medium Base (Part No. CM0833B) to enhance the medium's specificity for Aeromonas species by inhibiting competing microorganisms.
Key Features
- Specificity: Promotes the isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila by selectively inhibiting non-target organisms.
- Convenient Packaging: Supplied in a set of 10 x 2.5 mg freeze-dried vials, ensuring ease of use and accurate dosing.
- Yield: Each vial is formulated for 500 mL of prepared medium.
- Compatibility: Designed for addition to Aeromonas Medium Base (CM0833B).
