The Role of Caries Enrichment Medium in Early Detection and Prevention of Tooth Decay

Exploring the Future of Efficient Microbiological Testing: Babio’s New Sample Collection and Treatment Device

Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) is a versatile solution commonly used in laboratories and clinical settings. Recent studies have shown that PBS can be an effective alternative to traditional viral transport media (VTM) for transporting certain viruses, particularly RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2

The Importance of Nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal Swabs in Clinical and Laboratory Diagnostics

Amies Transport Medium is a widely used medium in microbiology for the collection, transport, and preservation of clinical specimens. It is particularly effective for maintaining the viability of microorganisms during transit, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment of infections.

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a selective medium that supports the growth of dermatophytes, yeasts, and filamentous fungi while inhibiting bacterial contamination. The medium contains dextrose as a carbon source, peptone for nitrogen, and agar as a solidifying agent. The acidic pH of 5.6 enhances fungal growth and suppresses bacterial colonies.
