Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar (DRBC Agar) – BioLab

Rose Bengal Chloramphenicol Agar (DRBC Agar) is a selective, semi-solid culture medium designed primarily for the isolation and differentiation of pathogenic fungi, especially Candida species.
This product is manufactured by BioLab and exclusively imported and distributed in Iran by Fardad Azma Rad Co.

It is widely used in clinical microbiology, environmental monitoring, and food industry testing to detect and identify both yeast and mold contaminants.

Key Features and Composition:

• Rose Bengal:
  A selective dye that restricts the growth of fast-growing molds and enhances the visibility and differentiation of fungal colonies, particularly Candida.

• Chloramphenicol:
  A broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth, making the medium more selective for fungi.

• Peptones and Beef Extract:
  Provide essential amino acids and nutrients required for optimal fungal growth.

• Agar:
  Acts as a solidifying agent, supporting surface colony development and morphological observation.

• Simple Sugars (e.g., Glucose):
  Serve as a readily available energy source to support fungal metabolism and reproduction.
