Schaedler Anaerobe Agar with Sheep Blood, Haemin, Vitamin K1 (Thermo Scientific™)

Grow and isolate obligate and facultative anaerobic organisms, such as the fastidious anaerobic bacteria Bacteroides, Prevotella and Porphyromonas, using Thermo Scientific™ Schaedler Anaerobe Agar with Sheep Blood, Haemin and Vitamin K1.

Key Features

Schaedler anaerobe agar is free from thioglycollate and is used to create selective conditions under which the required, delicate and more nutritionally exacting microorganisms of the intestinal tract would develop, despite the presence of antagonistic organisms. Normally such fastidious microorganisms would be swamped by the growth of enterococci, coliform bacilli and other Gram-negative bacilli.

Schaedler Anaerobe Agar contains cysteine hydrochloride and glucose, as reducing substances, with the advantage that cysteine inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli. Schaedler Anaerobe Agar has been shown to be a suitable alternative to blood agar for the enumeration of clostridia and has been used for the examination of food, waste products and ditch water. Studies have shown the necessity for strict anaerobic conditions for the successful recovery of obligate anaerobes when using this medium without the addition of blood.
