Description
• Intended Use: Yeast Extract Agar is used for the enumeration of microorganisms in potable and freshwater samples.
• Product Summary and Explanation: In nature, all water contains some impurities. As water flows in streams, sits in lakes, and
filters through layers of soil and rock in the ground, it dissolves or absorbs the substances that it touches. Microbial pathogens
are often found in water frequently as a result of fecal matter from sewage discharges, leaking septic tanks, or runoff from
animal feedlots. Yeast Extract Agar is a rich, nutritious medium for the recovery of a wide range of bacteria, yeast, and molds.
The combination of media ingredients and the appropriate incubation temperature of 36°C and 22°C allow the detection of a large
number of microbial contaminants.
Yeast Extract Agar complies with the recommendation of ISO 62222 and the Swedish Standard SS 028171.
