    Description

    Work efficiently and conform to ISO methods for Salmonella detection with the Thermo Scientific™ XLD Agar / Brilliance™ Salmonella Bi-plate. This innovative bi-plate combines two widely used microbiological media to streamline the detection and isolation of Salmonella from food, environmental, and clinical samples.

    This ready-to-use format allows you to read more results from a single sample, provides enhanced diagnostic detail, and helps reduce critical incubator storage capacity.

    Media Functionality

    1. XLD Agar (Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate Agar)

    • Purpose: Selective medium for the isolation and differentiation of Salmonella.
    • Differentiation: Relies on xylose fermentation, lysine decarboxylation, and hydrogen sulfide production to differentiate Salmonella and Shigella spp. from non-pathogenic bacteria.
    • Selectivity: The sensitivity and selectivity are superior to traditional media, making it ideal for screening samples with mixed flora.

    Compliance: Recommended in the ISO 6579 testing of Salmonella and tested according to ISO 11133-2.

    2. Brilliance™ Salmonella Agar

    • Purpose: Highly selective and easy-to-read medium for the presumptive identification of Salmonella.
    • Selectivity: Contains Inhibigen to specifically target and suppress Escherichia coli, along with other compounds to inhibit non-target organisms.
    • Chromogenic Differentiation: Utilizes two chromogens (caprylate esterase and ß-glucosidase) that target specific enzymes: Salmonella: The action of caprylate esterase (present in all Salmonella) results in purple colonies. Contaminants (other Enterobacteriaceae): Are differentiated by the ß-glucosidase substrate, resulting in blue colonies, which are easy to distinguish from Salmonella.
