Amies. Sterile
Universal transport media for bacteria in microbiological samples. It is a modification of the medium Cary Blair, itself of the medium Stuart. Basically, the glycerophosphate is changed from the original composition to inorganic phosphate and methylene blue for neutral pharmaceutical coal. In addition, it adds calcium and magnesium ions, which help preserve the permeability of the bacterial cell.
This media assures the viability of organisms such as:
Neisseria sp.
Haemophilus sp.
Corynebacterium sp.
Trichomonas vaginalis
Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Shigella flexneri
Salmonella typhi
Brucella abortus
Enterobacterias, etc.
The presence of charcoal on the media neutralises inhibitors and bacterial toxins, and improves the recovery ratio of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Vibrio cholerae
Some microorganisms can resist on the media for up to 3 days, although the recovery of microorganisms is better if cultured in the first 24 hours. Amies transport swabs are available with or without charcoal.
Swabs are sterilised by radiation.
Peel-pack dimensions: 38 x 210 mm.
