Product Overview
Pseudomonas CFC Selective Agar Base is a microbiological culture medium used for the selective isolation and cultivation of Pseudomonas species. The formulation supports the growth of Pseudomonas while suppressing unwanted microbial flora when used with the appropriate selective supplement.
This dehydrated culture medium is supplied in powder form and is suitable for laboratory preparation of agar plates used in microbiological analysis, environmental testing, food safety testing, and research applications.
The medium requires the addition of glycerol and Pseudomonas CFC selective supplement before plate preparation.
