Sabouraud 4% Dextrose Agar - Enhanced Fungal Isolation

Sabouraud Agar with 4% dextrose modification reduces carbon source preventing rapid overgrowth while maintaining selective acidic pH (5.6) and peptone nitrogen supply. This balanced formulation promotes discrete colony development essential for accurate fungal enumeration and identification while minimizing aerial mycelia interference.

Precision Mycology Applications

1. Quantitative Fungal Counts: Accurate enumeration without colony confluence.

2. Dermatophyte Isolation: Clear Trichophyton, Microsporum morphology.

3. Quality Control: Reference method fungal testing pharma/food.

4. Research: Sporulation medium without substrate inhibition.

Technical Advantages

19mm x 15mm x 20ml plates (Cat. 0801500E), 10 pcs/stack. SFDA standards, ISO 13485 facilities. Controlled dextrose 40g/L vs 65g/L standard SDA.

QC: C. albicans ATCC 10231, A. brasiliensis ATCC 16404.

Optimized Protocol

Streak dilution technique. 25°C aerobic 5-7 days. Enhanced colony isolation facilitates microscopic identification and biochemical testing.
