Description
TSC Agar (Base) is a dehydrated nutrient medium for microbiological applications, referenced to DEV, EN ISO 7937:2004, ISO 11133 and ISO 14189. It is intended for laboratory preparation of TSC agar used in microbiological water analysis and related examination of Clostridium perfringens and associated workflows where tryptose sulfite cycloserine-type media are specified. Supplied as a 500 g plastic pack, the base medium allows laboratories to prepare plates or tubes according to the cited standards once the appropriate selective supplements are added as required by the method. Dehydrated media of this class support reproducible formulation in water-testing and environmental microbiology laboratories. This product from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned among dehydrated nutrient media for microbiological water analysis and suits routine quality-control and compliance testing environments. The 500 g pack size is practical for regular media production, with a pack weight of 0,604 kg for straightforward handling and storage under ambient laboratory conditions as indicated for the dry base. Prepare and sterilise according to the relevant ISO/DEV instructions and institutional procedures.

Questions about TSC Agar (Base), DEV, EN ISO 7937,2004, ISO 11133, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
TSC Agar (Base), DEV, EN ISO 7937,2004, ISO 11133, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
