Peptone provides nitrogen source, amino acids, and growth factors; Glucose is a fast acting carbon source that meets the heterotrophic metabolic needs of fungi such as yeast and mold, supporting the recovery and massive proliferation of damaged fungi.

Main components

Composed of peptone, glucose, and distilled water.

Storage conditions and expiration date

Storage conditions: This product should be stored in a dark environment at 2-8 ℃.

Validity period: The unopened original packaging has a validity period of 6 months.

This product is a disposable product.

Clinical specimen fungal enrichment screening: Pre culture of pathogenic yeast such as Candida and Cryptococcus in sputum, urine, wound secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood samples to improve the detection rate of low load fungi.

Assisted identification of fungal infections in skin and mucous membranes: isolation and cultivation of fungi and yeast from tinea pedis, tinea pedis, and vaginal secretion samples.

Microbial limit inspection of drugs and cosmetics: selective enrichment of molds and yeasts in oral liquid, cream, facial mask, and traditional Chinese medicine raw materials to inhibit interference of bacteria.

Monitoring of fungal contamination in the environment: detection of fungal contamination using swabs from hospital wards, operating rooms, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical workshops.

Activation and passage of fungal standard strains: recovery, short-term storage, and preparation of fungal solutions for quality control strains such as Candida and Aspergillus niger.

Anti corrosion and Disinfection Effect Challenge Test: Evaluate the antifungal ability of skincare products and disinfectants as test bacterial culture substrates.

Candida albicans

Oval single celled spores can form pseudohyphae and are facultative anaerobic; Resistant to weak acids and trace amounts of chloramphenicol, it is the most common pathogenic fungus in clinical conditions, commonly found in sputum, urine, wounds, and blood samples; The liquid in the Sabouraud broth is turbid, with a milky white precipitate at the bottom.

Cryptococcus

Round thick walled spores with capsules on the periphery, specifically aerobic; Can cause meningitis, forming a fine bacterial membrane on the surface of the liquid, with good acid resistance.

Aspergillus niger

Multicellular with septate hyphae, producing black conidia, strictly aerobic; Traditional Chinese medicine raw materials, skincare products, powders, and fruits and vegetables are frequently contaminated with mold, resulting in flocculent black mycelial clusters after cultivation.
