Description

Identify and maintain Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other bacteria using CTA Base Control (Cystine Trypticase Agar).

Identify and maintain Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other bacteria using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ CTA Base Control (Cystine Trypticase Agar). This agar was first developed by Vera1. CTA Base Control media without carbohydrates can be used for the maintenance of stock cultures while CTA with carbohydrates differentiates fastidious organisms by means of fermentation reactions. Motility can be developed by CTA when the medium is inoculated by a stab line2.

Identify and maintain Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other bacteria using CTA Base Control (Cystine Trypticase Agar).

  • Can be used for maintaining stock cultures
  • Can be used for motility testing
  • Acts as a fermentation control to the CTA medium with carbohydrate to indicate a system failure such as carryover of carbohydrate from a primary isolation medium.
  • Ready to Use: Convenience of prepared media.

This medium can be used for qualitative procedures. CTA Agar consists of cysteine and casein peptone which supply essential nutrients for the growth of fastidious organisms. Neutral-orange color is caused by bacterial deamination of the peptone in the medium.
