Neogen® Perfringens Agar Base (TSC)

Perfringens Agar Base (TSC) is used with selective and differential supplements for the recovery of Clostridium perfringens, and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.

Formulated according to ISO 14189:2013, Perfringens Agar Base (TSC) is a nutritious base medium used in the preparation of SFP Agar and TSC Agar. Depending upon the formula, supplements are added to increase the selectivity of the medium. Shahidi-Ferguson Perfringens (SFP) Agar is based on the formula by Shahidi and Ferguson and incorporates the supplements, Polymyxin B Sulfate and Kanamycin. Tryptose Sulphite Cycloserine (TSC) Agar is developed with the same base as SFP Agar, with the addition of Cycloserine. If desired, Egg Yolk Emulsion can be added to either formula.
