Yeast & Mould Agar + Copper Sulphate, 90mm Plate
A medium for the isolation and enumeration of yeasts and moulds, tolerant of copper
Description
7638 – Yeast & Mould Agar + Copper Sulphate, 90mm Plate is a ready-to-use prepared plate supplied by SGL for routine microbiological testing. It is suitable for use in food and beverage; brewing sectors. Manufactured and quality controlled to SGL internal specifications.
Laboratories use Yeast & Mould Agar + Copper Sulphate to selectively isolate copper-tolerant yeasts and moulds from mixed cultures. The medium uses differences in copper sensitivity between wild yeasts and production ale or lager yeasts to support the detection of potential contaminants.
Peptones and yeast extract supply nitrogenous compounds and B-complex vitamins, while dextrose provides an energy source. Copper sulphate suppresses susceptible microorganisms, including many production yeast strains, allowing copper-tolerant wild yeasts and moulds to grow and supporting their detection and enumeration.
SGL manufactures the product in compliance with ISO 9001 (reference FM37824). A UKAS-accredited laboratory operating to ISO/IEC 17025 (accreditation number 4356) tests the product in accordance with ISO 11133. At the customer’s request, the laboratory can also perform additional specification testing.
