Tryptose Agar is for isolation, cultivation and differentiation primarily of Brucella, but also of Streptococci, Pneumococci, Meningococci and other pathogenic microorganisms. Pack size is 500G

Huddleson used Tryptose media for the isolation of Brucella species from man (1). Tryptose containing media, rather than the conventionally used meat infusion media have been used for the enumeration and isolation of Brucella species (2, 3). Tryptose Agar is also recommended by APHA (4) and FDA (5). This medium can be used as general purpose media for cultivation of wide variety of organisms. It can also be supplemented with defibrinated blood (sheep, horse) to prepare blood agar for the isolation of fastidious organisms like Brucella. Dextrose is the source of energy. Tryptose serves as nitrogen source while sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Blood Agar may be prepared by adding 5%v/v sterile defibrinated blood to molten sterile Tryptose Agar at 50°C. Directions: Suspend 41 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the media completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. For blood media, aseptically add 5% v/v sterile defibrinated blood. Mix well and dispense as desired.
