Thermo Scientific™ Cary-Blair Transport Medium (Dehydrated)
Description
Simplify collection, transport, and maintenance of clinical specimens with this transport medium.
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 laboratory3,4.
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.
