Soyabean Casein Digest Agar Plate with 5% Sheep blood is supplied by HiMedia. It contains 25ml of sterile ready prepared media in 90mm disposable plates. Soyabean Casein Digest Agar Plate is a general-purpose medium which is commonly used for the cultivation of wide variety of microorganisms and to study the haemolytic reactions. It is advisable to store this product between 2-8C. Composition (in gm/L) is as follows:

Tryptone (15.00)

Soya peptone (5.00)

Sodium chloride (5.00)

Agar (15.00)

Defibrinated sheep blood (50.00ml)

Soyabean Casein Digest Agar is a commonly used medium to support the growth of wide variety of organisms, even fastidious ones like Neisseria, Listeria, and Brucella etc. With the addition of blood, this medium provides perfectly defined haemolysis zones, while preventing the lysis of erythrocytes due to the sodium chloride content. Soyabean Casein Digest Agar has been frequently used in the health industry to produce antigens, toxins etc. This simple and inhibitor-free composition makes it ideal for the detection of antimicrobial agents in the food and other products. Tryptone Soya Agar is recommended by various pharmacopoeias as a sterility testing medium. The combination of tryptone and soya peptone makes this media more nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Sodium chloride is used to maintain the osmotic balance. Defibrinated sheep blood permits the detection of haemolysis and also provides heme (X factor) which is required for the growth of many bacteria. However it is devoid of V factor (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and hence Haemophilus influenzae which needs both the X and V factors, cannot grow on this medium.
