Description

General description

Tryptic Soy Agar + LTHTh in 90 mm settle plates with 30 mL filling volume for long incubation is designed for the detection of the total aerobic microbial count in the air via active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in controlled environments.
TSA medium is used for the cultivation and isolation of a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, and molds. The formulation contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium.The medium is supplemented with neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate (Tween^®) 80, histidine, and sodium thiosulphate to inactivate disinfectant residues.

Application

Tryptic Soy Agar + LTHTh - in 90 mm settle plates is designed for the determination of the total aerobic microbial count in the air via active or passive air monitoring as well as fingerprints of personnel in controlled environments.
