Tryptic Soy Agar

Tryptic Soy Agar- referred to as Soybean-Casein Digest Agar Medium by the United States Pharmacopeia- is a general purpose, non-selective growth media that supports the growth of most nonfastidious Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as many yeasts and molds. It also supports the growth of many obligate anaerobes when incubated anaerobically. Enzymatic digests of casein and soybean meal provide a source of nitrogen. Osmotic balance is achieved through the inclusion of sodium chloride, while agar serves as a gelling agent. The formulation of BACGro^TM TSA conforms to the Harmonized United States Pharmacopeia (USP)¹, European Pharmacopeia (EP)² and Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP)³ Standards.
