Blood Agar Base No.2 (ISO) | Enriched Base Medium for Hemolysis Detection

Blood Agar Base No.2 (ISO) is a non-selective, nutrient-rich culture medium formulated according to ISO standards. It is used as a base for preparing Blood Agar by supplementing with defibrinated blood (commonly sheep or horse blood). This medium supports the growth of a wide range of fastidious microorganisms and enables the detection of hemolytic patterns (alpha, beta, gamma) — making it ideal for clinical diagnostics, veterinary labs, and pharmaceutical quality control.

Key Features:

• Optimized for blood supplementation, maintaining pH balance and clarity after autoclaving

• Clear distinction of hemolysis types: alpha (partial), beta (complete), and gamma (none)

• Free from inhibitory agents, ensuring the growth of even the most sensitive organisms

• Suitable for fastidious bacteria such as Streptococcus spp.

Applications:

• Preparation of Blood Agar for hemolysis detection and identification of pathogenic bacteria

• Isolation and differentiation of Streptococcus pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, and other hemolytic organisms

• Clinical microbiology, veterinary diagnostics, and industrial microbiology

• Microbiological quality control in pharmaceutical and food industries
