InTray® SAB+PVG

Quick Links: Specifications Detection Incubation Storage

Streamline your workflow

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is recommended in the United State Pharmocopoeia (USP) for use in performing total combined mold and yeast counts (Microbial Limits Tests). InTray SAB+PVG prepared plated culture media are general-purpose microbiology devices that allow for simultaneous growth and observation of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, including yeasts and dermatophytes.

For isolation of fungi from potentially contaminated specimens, best practice suggests InTray SAB+PVG should be run in parallel with the non-selective InTray SAB-FungID.

InTray SAB+PVG is slightly inhibitory against bacteria and is designed for sampling a large spectrum of fungal growth. Bacterial inhibition is further enhanced with the introduction of the antibiotics Polymyxin B, Vancomycin and Gentamicin – which is used for samples with suspected high levels of bacterial contamination.
