Mueller Hinton Agar w/5% Sheeps Blood (SM) 24mL, 10/Pk

Mueller Hinton Agar with 5% Sheep’s Blood (SM), 24mL Plates, 10/Pk is a specialized, enriched medium used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the cultivation of fastidious bacterial organisms, including Streptococci and Haemophilus species. The addition of 5% defibrinated sheep’s blood enhances the growth of fastidious organisms and enables the detection of hemolytic activity, while maintaining the performance standards required for standardized disk diffusion testing.

Each 100 x 15mm plate is filled with 24mL of agar to meet CLSI recommendations for media depth, ensuring reliable and reproducible zone of inhibition measurements. This formulation is commonly used in clinical microbiology for antibiotic susceptibility testing, blood agar screening, and respiratory pathogen isolation.

• 24mL fill in 100 x 15mm standard plates to support CLSI testing protocols
• Enriched with 5% sheep’s blood for hemolysis observation and fastidious growth
• Suitable for antimicrobial susceptibility testing via disk diffusion
• Supports growth of Streptococcus, Haemophilus, and other demanding organisms
• Supplied sterile in 10-pack format for clinical and diagnostic use

Mueller Hinton Agar with Sheep’s Blood is a trusted medium in clinical labs, hospital microbiology, and infectious disease diagnostics, ensuring consistent and accurate antimicrobial testing outcomes.
