Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Perfringens TSC Supplement, D-cycloserine 200mg/vial

The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Perfringens TSC Supplement is a freeze-dried additive containing D-cycloserine (200mg/vial), specifically designed to enhance the selective recovery of Clostridium perfringens in microbiological testing. When added to suitable media, such as DCLS Agar (CM0393B) or Perfringens Agar Base, TSC (CM0587B), the supplement provides a selective environment that inhibits competing flora, enabling the isolation and enumeration of C. perfringens.

Key Features

1. Selective Recovery:
   • Enhances the isolation of Clostridium perfringens by suppressing non-target organisms with the antibiotic D-cycloserine.
2. Flexible Applications:
   • Compatible with various media formulations, including:
     • DCLS Agar (CM0393B).
     • Perfringens Agar Base, TSC (CM0587B).
3. Convenient Packaging:
   • Each vial supplements 500mL of medium, and the pack contains 10 vials, suitable for laboratory-scale testing.
4. Reliable Performance:
   • Specifically formulated to support food microbiology workflows for detecting C. perfringens in complex samples.

Specifications
