Columbia Agar with Chocolate Horse Blood 90mm Plates Pk 10

Cultivate, isolate and identify a broad range of microorganisms and fastidious organisms, using Thermo Scientific™ Columbia Agar with Chocolate Horse Blood.

Rapid production of large colonies, clearly defined zones of haemolysis and good colonial differentiation is promoted by the addition of defibrinated horse blood.

Traditionally, blood agar bases have been either casein hydrolysate or meat infusion media. The advantage of the first lies in the rapid production of large colonies, and of the second in clearly defined zones of haemolysis and good colonial differentiation.

Columbia Agar Base combines the virtues of both these types of media to give an improved all-round performance, showing versatility and superior performance in several applications.
