Description

HardyCHROM Group A Strep Agar is a chromogenic medium recommended for the selective cultivation and differential isolation of Group A Streptococcus from specimens based on colony color

• Group A Strep Agar contains organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and long-chain polypeptides, from peptones and yeast extract. These, along with additional growth factors, render the medium highly nutritious and help to counteract selective agents added to inhibit unwanted flora
• Optically clear, heavy-duty polystyrene mono plates for distortion-free viewing and reduced breakage during shipping
• Red colonies on a white background make detection easy
• Highly Selective
