Description

Simplify collection, transport, and maintenance of clinical specimens based on the formulation of Cary and Blair¹ with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Cary-Blair Transport Medium (Dehydrated). The low nutrient content of the medium and the use of phosphate as buffering agent prevents bacterial overgrowth by Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella aerogenes.

Ensure optimal sample collection and recovery using the Cary-Blair Transport medium.

• Prevents bacterial overgrowth by Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella aerogenes.
• Ensures bacterial survival over long periods of time due to low oxidation reduction potential of the medium².
• Particularly suitable in field surveys for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, especially where rectal swabs are to be transported to a central diagnostic laboratory^3,4.

For the transport of fastidious anaerobic bacteria, the medium may be prepared as directed and filled into long-narrow screw-capped tubes⁵. It may also be prepared as a pre-reduced anaerobic sterilized medium (PRAS)⁶. Methods of producing PRAS media are described by Holdeman and Moore⁷.
