Description

Application

Schaedler Agar is used for the enumeration of various aerobic and anaerobic bacterial species present in the gastrointestinal tract.

Preparation Note

Suspend 43.41 grams in 950 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling with frequent agitation to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool and add 5% sterile defibrinated blood if desired. Mix well before dispensing. Avoid overheating and photo oxidation of the medium, as it will retard the growth of bacteria.

Footnote

The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
