Description
This crimson red, translucent agar is prepared from a Mannitol Salt agar base with the addition of 5% washed bovine erythrocytes. This agar has been formulated to enhance the detection of Staphylococcus aureus when present. The addition of blood to the agar provides the capability of differentiating Staphylococci using hemolysin patterns. All suspect Staphylococcus aureus suspects should be coagulase tested. UHS Salt agar will support good growth of Staphylococci, while the salt content will inhibit most other bacteria. In order to provide the best quality agar possible, this product is made to order.
