Selectively isolate and identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a range of samples with this ready-to-use medium.

Selectively isolate and identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa from various samples using Cetrimide Agar (EP, USP, JP, BP). The medium contains magnesium chloride and potassium sulphate to enhance pigment production and recovery of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while strongly suppressing Klebsiella, Proteus, and Providencia species. The formulation conforms to the European Pharmacopoeia for Microbial Limit Tests¹.

Cetrimide Agar (EP, USP, JP, BP) is a modification of the original medium described by Brown and Lowbury² for the selective isolation and differentiation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a variety of samples.

Features 

• Enhanced pigment production: Improves identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

• Selective formulation: Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms fluorescent green colonies, while Klebsiella, Proteus, and Providencia species are strongly inhibited.

• Pharmacopoeia compliant: Meets European Pharmacopoeia requirements for Microbial Limit Tests¹.

• Ready-to-use: Convenient, pre-prepared medium eliminates the need for in-house preparation.
