Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) with 5% Sheep Blood is a highly versatile, enriched microbiological medium designed for the cultivation, isolation, and differentiation of a wide variety of bacterial species, including fastidious organisms. Each sterile, pre-poured 100x15mm petri dish contains 20mL of high-quality TSA base enriched with 5% defibrinated sheep blood, which provides additional nutrients and allows for the observation of hemolytic activity—critical for identifying pathogens such as Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and other clinically significant bacteria.
This media supports robust bacterial growth and enables clear visualization of alpha, beta, and gamma hemolysis, making it a preferred choice in hospital laboratories, research institutions, clinical diagnostic settings, and pharmaceutical quality control environments. TSA with Sheep Blood is commonly used for throat, wound, and other specimen cultures where hemolysis detection is essential.
Each pack contains 10 individually sealed, gamma-irradiated plates to maintain sterility and ensure reliable performance. The 20mL fill volume offers a deep, even surface for consistent colony development, while the optically clear plastic provides optimal viewing for culture inspection and documentation.
