Chocolate Agar with Enrichment Slant 9mL,16x125 mm Tube, 10/Pk

Chocolate Agar with Enrichment Slant 9mL, 16x125mm Tube, 10/Pk is an enriched, nonselective medium designed for the cultivation of fastidious organisms, including Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Neisseria meningitidis. The medium is prepared by heating blood, which lyses red blood cells and releases growth factors such as hemin (X factor) and NAD (V factor), essential for the recovery of these organisms.

The enriched base provides the nutrients required for optimal growth of demanding pathogens, while the slant format offers increased surface area and extended shelf life compared to plates. Each tube contains 9mL of sterile agar prepared in 16x125mm screw-cap tubes to ensure sterility, ease of storage, and convenient use in diagnostic workflows.

Key Features:

• Enriched medium for fastidious bacteria
