Anaerobic Blood Agar (CDC) 20mL Plates, 10/Pk is an enriched, nonselective medium formulated for the isolation and cultivation of obligate anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens. It supports the recovery of fastidious organisms such as Clostridium, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, and Peptostreptococcus species.

The addition of 5% defibrinated sheep blood enhances bacterial growth and allows detection of hemolytic reactions, aiding in differentiation. Each plate contains 20mL of sterile agar to provide consistent growth conditions under anaerobic incubation, making it ideal for diagnostic and research applications.

Key Features:

• Enriched nonselective medium for anaerobic bacteria
• Supports recovery of fastidious species including Clostridium and Bacteroides
• 5% sheep blood permits detection of hemolysis and enhances growth
• 20mL fill ensures consistent depth and incubation conditions
• Supplied in packs of 10 plates for routine laboratory use
• Suitable for clinical diagnostics and microbiology research
