tmmedia.in
In the world of microbiology, agar plates are a staple tool for growing and identifying bacteria. However, the traditional preparation of agar plates can be time-consuming and labour-intensive. That's where Ready-To-Use Plates come in.
Ready-To-Use Plates are pre-prepared agar plates that are ready to use right out of the package. This eliminates the need to measure, mix, and pour agar, which can save you a significant amount of time and effort.
One of the most popular types of Ready-to-Use Plates is Sheep Blood Agar. Sheep Blood Agar is a nutrient-rich agar that is supplemented with sheep blood.
In this Article, we explore the importance, composition, and reasons why consumers should consider TM Media's Ready-To-Use Sheep Blood Agar Plates as their preferred choice.
Composition of Sheep Blood Agar Plates
The medium comprises nutritive constituents such as pancreatic digest of casein, neutralized peptone, and yeast extract. The inclusion of sodium chloride ensures the creation of an osmotically stable environment for bacterial cells. Further enrichment is achieved by incorporating 5% defibrinated sheep blood, facilitating the assessment of haemolytic responses- an essential distinguishing feature.
INGREDIENTS GMS / LTR
Casein enzymic hydrolysate 14.000
Agar 12.500
Sodium chloride 5.000
Peptic digest of animal tissue 4.500

Benefits
There are many benefits to using Sheep Blood Agar Plate:
• Sheep Blood Agar is a versatile medium that can be used to grow a wide variety of bacteria.
• Sheep Blood Agar Plate is easy to use. Simply add a sample to the plate and incubate it. The results can be easily interpreted by observing the growth of bacteria on the plate.
• Sheep Blood Agar is reliable. It is a well-established medium that has been used for many years to grow and identify bacteria.
• Sheep Blood Agar can be used to detect haemolytic reactions. Haemolytic reactions are caused by bacteria that produce enzymes that break down red blood cells. The presence of haemolytic reactions can be used to identify potentially harmful bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus.
• A Sheep Blood Agar Plate can also be used to determine the growth rate and morphology of bacteria. This information can be used to identify bacteria and assess their pathogenicity.
