General description
Agar Strips S are ready-to-use culture media for assessment of airborne Staphylococci with RCS® Air Samplers. Each individual agar strip is welded into a re-sealable sleeve and 100% visually controlled, ensuring maximum safety in critical environments. Mannitol Salt Agar is filled in a flexible backing film. Mannitol salt phenol-red agar is a modified version of the selective agar that supports the growth of Staphylococcus aureus whereas many other microorganisms are inhibited by the high salt content of 7.5%. Some halophilic Enteroccci and Vibriones can also grow on Mannitol Salt Agar
Application
Agar Strips are used for monitoring of ambient air and compressed gases with the RCS® Air Samplers.
Analysis Note
S. aureus produces acids from mannitol forming yellow colonies with yellow zones. S. capitis, S. simulans, S. carnosus, S. scuri, S. lentus, S. gallinarum are also mannitol positive.
