PERFRINGENS AGAR BASE (T.S.C./S.F.P. AGAR BASE) (VEG.)

Perfringens Agar Base (T.S.C./S.F.P. Agar base) (VEG.) is developed by using Veg Hydrolysate No.1 and Veg extract which are free from BSE/TSE risks. Perfringens Veg Agar Base is the modification of Tryptose Sulphite Cycloserine Agar (TSC) which was originally formulated by Harmon et al for enumeration of Clostridium perfringens from food. Egg Yolk free TSC Agar has been documented as the most useful media for the quantitative recovery of Clostridium perfringens suppressing growth of almost all facultative anaerobes. Egg Yolk Free TSC Agar is used in pour plates. Perfringens Veg Agar Base like the conventional medium is superior to elevated temperature (46?C) MPN methods for enumeration of Clostridium perfringens spores.
