Hardy Diagnostics Columbia CNA Agar is recommended for use as a selective growth medium for the isolation and differentiation of gram-positive cocci from clinical and non-clinical specimens which contain mixed flora. This media is identical to Cat. no. A50, however his product has a Petri plate that features a reduced stacking ring (smoother lid) so that it will work smoothly with automated streaking devices, such as the bioMerieux Previ Isola. (10 per PK)

The only Chromogenic media to differentiate Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus! Hardy Diagnostics HardyCHROM™ Vibrio is recommended for use as a selective and differential growth medium for the cultivation, isolation, and differentiation of Vibrio spp. from food and environmental samples. Features and Benefits: The only chromogenic media to differentiate V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus on the same plate. Fluorogenic reaction adds another dimension for thorough differentiation. Superior performance to TCBS; greater sensitivity and specificity. Molecular methods are very expensive. Screen first on inexpensive HardyCHROM™ Vibrio! Also available in CRITERION™ Dehydrated Culture Media. (10 per PK)

Contains 5% defibrinated horse blood for the cultivation of Haemophilus spp. Comparable to: Remel R01208 (10 per PK)

Brucella Agar with H & K is recommended for use in the primary isolation and cultivation of anaerobic microorganisms. (10 per PK)

Malt Extract Agar with 0.01% Chloramphenicol, deep fill, 15x100mm plate, order by the package of 10, by Hardy Diagnostics For the selective isolation of fungi. (10 per PK)

Hardy Diagnostics HardyCHROM™ Candida + auris is recommended for the selective isolation and differential identification of Candida species. The medium allows for the differentiation of C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, and C. auris based on colony morphology, color, and positive UV fluorescence. Colonies of Candida glabrata can be subbed directly to Rapid Trehalose Fermentation Broth (Cat. no. Z205) or GlabrataQuick (Cat. no. Z298) for confirmation Features and Benefits: Easy colony detection Candida auris produces white colonies with teal to teal-green “bullseye” centers that are positive for UV fluorescence for easy differentiation from other Candida species Colonies stand out Bright, vivid color development against a white background for effortless interpretation Highly selective Useful as an aid for differentiating other clinically relevant Candida species (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei). Inhibitory to most bacteria common to mixed specimens (e.g. skin, throat, axilla, urogenital tract, or rectal swabs, etc.) Fast development Most strains will exhibit colors within 48 hours See the Instructions for Use (IFU) below (under Technical Information) for the complete procedure with color photos. The HardyCHROM™ plates use optically clear, heavy-duty polystyrene for distortion-free viewing and reduced breakage during shipping. Receive your pack in a "breathable" sleeve of 10 plates per bag that prevents the buildup of condensation and excess moisture. This media is to be stored and incubated in the dark. If you have a light in your refrigerator, incubator, or you leave the media exposed to light on the benchtop, Hardy Diagnostics offers free Blok-Boxes. Blok-Box is a reusable cardboard box that holds one sleeve of ten Petri plates. (10 per EA)

Ideal for Urine Cultures! BluEcoli™ Urine Biplate is a urine culture media, consisting of Blood Agar on one side and BluEcoli™ Agar on the other side, which is used for the isolation of urinary pathogens and for the identification of E. coli. Features and Benefits: A revolutionary agar bi-plate for screening urine specimens for E. coli, which causes about 85% of all urinary tract infections (UTI). Blood Agar (side 1) is recommended as a primary plating medium when culturing urine specimens. All common bacteria and yeasts will grow on this medium. BluEcoli™ (side 2) is a urine culture medium used for the selective culture and isolation of urinary pathogens and for the identification of E. coli which turns blue within 24 hours by using chromogenic substrates. No further testing is needed! Inoculate both sides of the biplate with the urine specimen. If the infecting organism is E. coli, the colonies on the chromogenic side of the biplate will turn blue. The blue color of E. coli is confirmatory! No further confirmation or indole testing is required. Save time and money by not using an expensive identification system. All other gram negative bacteria will appear as they would on a MacConkey plate (pink for lactose fermentors and clear for non-fermentors). With the BluEcoli™ Urine Biplate, you can select a colony from the blood agar side of the biplate for susceptibility testing. Helpful in spotting mixed infections. (10 per PK)

CulGenex™ Yeast Peptone Dextrose (YPD) Media are recommended for the rapid growth of yeasts, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, used for molecular research. All CulGenex products are offered exclusively through VWR. (10 per PK)

HardyCHROM™ Salmonella is a differential medium that facilitates the isolation and differentiation of Salmonella spp. from other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. This medium utilizes the ability of Salmonella spp. to produce acid from propylene glycol. This characteristic is used in conjunction with a chromogenic indicator to differentiate Salmonella spp. form Proteus spp. and other Enterobacteriaceae. Salmonella spp., including S.typhi and S.paratyphi A, produce pink to magenta colonies as a result of propylene glycol utilization. Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae produce blue, blue-green, white, or colorless colonies, while gram-positive bacteria and non-glucose fermenting bacteria will be inhibited.
