Pseudomonas Isolation Agar, 20mL, 10/Pk

Pseudomonas Isolation Agar is a specialized microbiological medium formulated to selectively isolate and differentiate Pseudomonas aeruginosa—a common environmental and opportunistic pathogen—found in water systems, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, industrial surfaces, and clinical settings. This medium is essential for microbial quality control in environments where Pseudomonas contamination poses a risk to products, patients, or processes.

The formulation contains Irgasan® (triclosan), a potent antimicrobial agent that effectively suppresses the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and many Gram-negative organisms, allowing Pseudomonas species—particularly P. aeruginosa—to thrive and be easily identified. P. aeruginosa produces distinctive pigments such as pyocyanin (blue-green) and fluorescein (yellow-green), which aid in rapid presumptive identification under UV light or normal lighting conditions.

With a 20mL agar fill, these plates provide optimal surface area and moisture retention for reliable inoculation, even over longer incubation periods. This medium is widely used in environmental monitoring, water quality testing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing validation processes, ensuring compliance with FDA, USP, and EU GMP standards.

• Selective medium designed specifically for isolating Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Contains Irgasan® to inhibit non-target organisms
• Encourages pigment production (pyocyanin and fluorescein) for presumptive ID
• 20mL fill supports even inoculation and optimal microbial recovery
• Widely used in pharmaceutical, environmental, clinical, and industrial microbiology
• Supplied in a bulk pack of 10 plates for efficient, cost-effective testing workflows

Pseudomonas Isolation Agar is a critical tool for labs and QC departments requiring dependable detection of P. aeruginosa in high-risk, regulated environments. Its performance and specificity make it a trusted choice for routine microbial monitoring and contamination control.
